PROCESS FOR MAKING COMPOUNDED SYNTHETIC POLYISOPRENE LATEX, PROCESS FOR MAKING SYNTHETIC POLYISOPRENE CONDOM, SYNTHETIC POLYISOPRENE CONDOM AND LATEX FILM ARTICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to processes for making synthetic polyisoprene latex and synthetic polyisoprene condoms. A process for making a compounded synthetic polyisoprene latex suitable for making a latex film comprises (a) compounding a synthetic polyisoprene latex with suitable compounding ingredients, (b) maturing the latex and optionally (c) storing the latex; characterized in that steps (a), (b) and (c) if included are carried out at a low temperature so as to minimize prevulcanisation of the latex. Condoms can be made from latexes produced according to the process of the invention.
