Loss of physical strength or other properties suffered by polymers under various influences, e.g. by oxidation, heat, ozone etc.

Additive used to reduce web formation in latex dipping.

DipTech Systems line of automatic dipping machines. Used in both laboratory and small part production, these units are known for providing exact, repeatable dipping motion profiles.

Articles of manufactured rubber, usually thin walled, by dipping suitable former into compounded latex and allowing the rubber coating to dry, vulcanizing the coating, and removing the articles from the former.

Deposition of rubber on the article or former dipped directly into latex, pure gum or compounded, drying and vulcanzing the deposition after the former is withdrawn.

Any system consisting of one material subdivided into a continuum of another in which it is not soluble. Emulsions and Latices are specific types of dispersions.

2. Slurry: Exclusively used to describe coarse, or very coarse, suspensions of powders.

Natural latex centrifuged twice to yield a concentrate with approximately half the amount of NRS found in ordinary centrifuged concentrate.kkkkkkkkj

The loss of (latex) coating from the paper surface during printing.

Mass of rubber coagulated by acid from one hundred parts mass of latex.

Removal of dipped products from formers, usually after application of powder lubricant, by mechanical means (e.g. rotating brushes) without the aid of water.
