Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) has several important uses in natural rubber latex processing and applications. Here are some of the main uses:
1. **pH Adjustment**: NaOH is often used to adjust the pH of natural rubber latex. Maintaining an appropriate pH level is crucial for the stability of the latex and for the prevention of coagulation. Optimal pH levels also enhance the efficiency of additives during processing.
2. **Coagulation**: In the
