Polychloroprene Latex as a Substitute to Natural Rubber Latex?
Manufacturer: We understand that some manufacturers have switched from natural rubber latex to polychloroprene latex despite the higher price of the latter due to protein allergy problem associated with natural rubber latex.
What are the typical properties of vulcanisates from polychloroprene compared to natural rubber?
John Woon (Senior Latex Consultant): Generally, polychloroprene rubber has the following superior properties, especially when compared to natural rubber:
1) Excellent resistance to ozone attack.
2) Good ageing resistance.
3) Low gas permeability
4) Good chemical resistance especially against non-polar solvents.
5) Good flame retardant.
While the modulus and elongation at break are similar to that of natural rubber, the tensile strength and tear strength are slightly inferior.
Cyclohexylamine Acetate as Coagulant?
Manufacturer: We heard that you had recommended the use of cyclohexylamine acetate as a coagulant for some latex dipped products.
Can you please tell us why?
John Woon (Senior Latex Consultant): Usual coagulant such as calcium nitrate would result
in poor transparency since it is insoluble in rubber.
One unique coagulant that has been successfully used
for many years for the manufacturing of high-clarity (i.e. transparent) baby
teats and soothers is cyclohexylamine acetate (CHA).
The main reason for the transparency is that CHA and
its by-products are soluble in rubber.

Plastic-Eating Worms May Offer Solution to Our Growing Garbage Problem
Polystyrene—most familiarly produced as foams, including Styrofoam—has
given the world cheap, lightweight insulation and containers for taking
food to go. But the material biodegrades so slowly that it can sit in a
landfill for hundreds of years. A new finding points to a potential
solution: Mealworms will dine on polystyrene foam when they can’t get a
better meal, converting up to 48% of what they eat into carbon dioxide......
