Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the sludge content of natural rubber latex concentrate.
The method is not necessarily suitable for latices from natural sources other than Hevea brasiliensis.
It is not suitable for compounded latex or vulcanized latex.
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
3 Principle A test portion is centrifuged and the resultant sludge washed repeatedly with ammonia-alcohol solution.
The sludge is then dried to constant mass.
4 Reagents During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity.
