Physical tests

Dry rubber content (DRC) and Total solid content of the latex:

• We test DRC and total solid content of the latex according to ASTM standard D 1076 and ISO procedure.
• We have highly precise weighing balance with accuracy of 0.01 mg for doing these analyses.

Stability of the latex:

• We test according to ASTM standard D 1076 and ISO procedure.
• We analyze mechanical stability, chemical stability, heat stability, Emulsion stability of latex sample.
• We have klaxon latex mechanical stability test apparatus to analyze stability.
• Test is done at 14,000 RPM.

Viscosity

• We test according to ASTM standard D 1076.
• We have Brookfield LVT model, which gives an accurate viscosity result .
• We will able to measure the viscosity ranging from 50-140,000 centipoises.

Volatile fatty acid:

• We test according to ASTM standard D 1076 and ISO procedure.
• Volatile fatty acid is determined by Markham still apparatus with steam generator.

We too do following tests on latex according to ASTM and ISO Procedure:

• Density
• Sludge content
• Coagulum content
• pH of latex
• Conductivity of latex
• Alkalinity of Latex
• KOH number of latex
• ZNO number
• Nitrogen content
• Chloroform number
• Non volatile acid number
• Carbon dioxide number
