Abstract
Natural rubber latex is basically used in many applications as it has excellent properties but due to the protein allergy problem, the natural rubber glove industry IS currently In dilemma. Numerous methods have been used to reduce the amount of extractable proteins In natural rubber latex. Even though effective, these methods are not popular due to the additional cost of production of these latices. In thrs study, a different approach is used to tackle the latex protein problem. This IS done by crcsslinkinq the proteins in natural rubber latex with reducing sugars Two different types of latex (high ammonia and ammonia reduced latices) were used.
