dc.description.abstractIncrease in the ion concentration in the medium was found to increase conductivity and potassium hydroxide number (KOH No) in natural rubber latex (NRL). Addition of long chain fatty acids can increase the ion concentration in themedium and stability of NRL. A series of concentrated natural rubber latex samples from three different areas with different soils and climatic conditions were tested for the parameters such as KOH No and conductivity. They have been measured over a period of 62 days, upon addition of soap to natural rubber latex concentrate. The result showed that there was a strong positive linear correlation between conductivity and KOH No. The regression equation to express the relationship between the variables has also been found.
