Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the properties of the PB 260 clone rubber using the Averrhoa type coagulant. The natural coagulants used in this study were Averrhoa bilimbi and Averrhoa carambola. The latex used was 150 ml of PB 260 clone rubber with a concentration of 100% natural coagulant of 75 ml and 2% formic acid. The rubber properties that were tested were Po, PRI, DRC, ash content, dirt content, volatile matter content and Mooney viscosity. This research also uses a special treatment in the form of centrifugation speed. The higher the centrifugation speed, the higher the pH value of the natural coagulant and the lower the H+ ion value, which accelerates the coagulation time of the latex. In natural coagulant extract, the highest values of Po, PRI, DRC, ash content, dirt content and Mooney viscosity were obtained at 0 rpm for Averrhoa bilimbi extract with values of 40%, 94.17%, 32.83%, 0, 32%, 0.038% and 77 MU. Meanwhile, in the test for volatile matter content, the highest value was found in Averrhoa carambola at 5000 rpm with a value of 0.23%.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of coconut shell–derived liquid smoke (CLS) and activated carbon–treated liquid smoke (CLSC) as natural coagulants for natural rubber latex clone PB 260, compared with 2% formic acid (FA). Rubber quality was assessed based on Total Solid Content (TSC), Dry Rubber Content (DRC), initial plasticity (Po), Plasticity Retention Index (PRI), ash content, dirt content, volatile matter, and Mooney viscosity according to the SNI 06-1903-2017 standard for Indonesian Standard Rubber (SIR 20). Experiments were conducted using fresh latex from clone PB 260 under the D3 tapping system, with 150 mL of latex treated with each coagulant. FA produced the fastest coagulation time (3.39 min), while CLS and CLSC required 4.37 and 4.29 min, respectively. CLS showed the highest DRC (15.33%), whereas CLSC provided better rubber stability with the highest PRI (85.83%) and high Mooney viscosity. All coagulants met SIR 20 limits for ash, dirt, and volatile matter, although Po values remained below the standard.
