Epoxidized natural rubber latex with 50 mole % epoxidization referred to as ENR50 L was produced by in situ generated peracids. ENR50 L was subsequently concentrated to ENR50 L concentrate (ENR50 LC)viaultrafiltration membrane separation process. Both, ENR50 Latices (ENR50 L and ENR50 LC) were evaluated for the formulation of latex-based pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). In this work, evaluation of hydrocarbon and rosin ester tackifier dispersions in ENR50 Latices - based PSAs were performed through viscosity and peel adhesion test. The viscosity of latex-based PSAs containing hydrocarbon tackifier increased with increasing level of ENR50 Latices. However, the trend for latex-based PSAs containing rosin ester tackifier was inversely proportional to the level of ENR50 Latices. The peel adhesion of ENR50 Latices - based PSAs containing hydrocarbon tackifier was found greater than that of ENR50 Latices based PSAs containing rosin ester tackifier. Furthermore, the peel adhesion of ENR50 LC based PSAs was marginally higher than ENR50 L based PSAs.

The effects of the ratios of natural rubber latex (NRL)and chloroprene rubber latex(CRL) and the type of compatibilizer on physical and mechanical properties of latex film were researched.The oil resistance of vulcanized latex film was tested. The compatibility of the latex blends was also analyzed by TG/DTG method.The results showed that properties of latex film were best when ratio of NRL/CRL was 75/25. As the CRL content increased, oil resistance of latex film was improved. Epoxidized natural rubber latex improved compatibility of NRL and CRL blends.

Peel Tests

Natural rubber (SMR L grade), epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) 25 and 50 were loaded with hybrid tackifiers consisting of a mixture of coumarone-indene and gum rosin. The coumarone-indene was fixed at 40 parts per hundred of rubber (phr) while the concentration of gum rosin was varied from 20 to 80 phr. The viscosity, peel and shear strength of the adhesives prepared from the elastomers was studied. Results show that peel strength exhibits a maximum value at 60 phr gum rosin for SMR L-based adhesive while for ENR 25 and ENR 50 based adhesives a maximum value is observed at 40 phr gum rosin which was attributed to the occurrence of optimum wettability and compatibility at this tackifier loading. Meanwhile, viscosity and shear strength decreases with increasing gum rosin concentration. SMR L-based adhesive consistently exhibits higher viscosity and shear strength whereas ENR 25-based adhesive steadily shows higher value for all modes of peel tests.
