Abstract

Abstract With the method which has been described, it is possible to obtain reproducible results easily. It is hoped that the method will make it easier to study the properties of rubber mixtures prepared from latex. Furthermore the quantity of a latex mixture needed for such a test is small, i.e., of the order of 400 cc., so the method is particularly well adapted to the selection of Hevea trees on a basis of the quality of their latex. As a matter of fact, it will be easy in many cases to follow the collection of latex from a limited number of trees. It should even be possible, by using a single dipping form and reducing the size of the dipping tank, to follow the quality of the latex from the daily production of one tree, a procedure which is impossible with coagulated rubber.
