- Fresh latex as it comes out from the tree is slightly alkaline or neutral.
- It becomes acidic rapidly due to bacterial action.
- The formation of organic acids neutralises the negative charge on rubber particles & the latex gradually thickens & gets coagulated on keeping.
- So fresh latex cannot be kept for long without coagulation.
“Chemistry Experiments” is a guide for students and teachers who look for various experiments in chemistry. I will be mainly focusing on chemical, fertilizers, water, effluent, latex, dry rubber testing in my latest blog. I hope these experiments will definitely help students & teachers. Please mail me if you all need any further assistance or help in any of these tests.
