Abstract In conclusion, it may be stated that the general principles of drying latex rubber deposits are much the same as for drying any other article, but there are conditions present that make drying more difficult. The porosity of the deposits decreases as drying proceeds; consequently the diffusion of the water through the deposits is progressively slower. Blisters can be formed between the deposits and the forms, but the formation of blisters can be controlled. During drying, flowable films such as those created by straight dipping can become wetter after being put into a drying oven. All these difficulties can be overcome by the proper design of ovens and the proper applications of fundamental drying principles.
