The utilisation of epoxidised natural rubber (ENR) for latex products is limited due to the inability of the ENR latex to form film through typical coagulant dipping processes. This is due to the low total solid content (TSC) and the presence of the non-ionic surfactant in the ENR latex. To use the ENR latex for dipping applications, concentration process via membrane technology is used to reduce the surfactant level in the latex and increase the TSC of the ENR latex material. The current study focuses on two grades: 25% and 50% epoxidation levels of concentrated ENR latex as starting materials and the typical latex compounding behaviour, such as pH, zeta potential, particle size and viscosity, was also analysed to understand its characteristic. Results, such as pH, zeta potential, and particle size, were acceptable and suitable to be used for dipping purpose and it passed the general latex properties of compounding. The cure measurement, such as chloroform number and total swelling index, showed ENR latex is fully vulcanised after 2 days of maturation. On the aspect of physical characteristics of the ENR 25 and 50 films, it resulted with high tensile strength (23.7 MPa) and met the specification of Standard Malaysian glove (SMG). The ability for dipping was satisfactory as smooth continuous film was formed. Aside from that, oil-resistance test and contact angle were also analysed to understand its resistance to oil upon time and wettability parameter of the ENR films.

由于ENR乳胶无法通过典型的混凝剂浸渍工艺形成薄膜，因此限制了环氧天然橡胶（ENR）用于乳胶产品的使用。这是由于ENR胶乳中的总固体含量（TSC）低和非离子表面活性剂的存在。要将ENR胶乳用于浸渍应用，可使用通过膜技术的浓缩工艺来降低胶乳中的表面活性剂含量，并提高ENR胶乳材料的TSC。当前的研究集中在两个等级上：以浓缩ENR乳胶为起始原料的25％和50％的环氧化水平，还分析了典型的乳胶混合行为，例如pH，ζ电位，粒度和粘度，以了解其特性。结果，例如pH值，ζ电位和粒径，是可以接受的并且适合用于浸渍目的，并且通过了配混的一般乳胶性能。固化测试（例如氯仿数量和总溶胀指数）表明，成熟的2天后ENR胶乳已完全硫化。在ENR 25和50薄膜的物理特性方面，它具有较高的拉伸强度（23.7 MPa），并符合马来西亚标准手套（SMG）的规格。浸渍的能力令人满意，因为形成了光滑的连续膜。除此之外，还分析了耐油性测试和接触角，以了解其耐油性随时间的变化以及ENR膜的润湿性参数。显示ENR乳胶成熟2天后已完全硫化。在ENR 25和50薄膜的物理特性方面，它具有较高的拉伸强度（23.7 MPa），并符合马来西亚标准手套（SMG）的规格。浸渍的能力令人满意，因为形成了光滑的连续膜。除此之外，还分析了耐油性测试和接触角，以了解其耐油性随时间的变化以及ENR膜的润湿性参数。显示ENR乳胶成熟2天后已完全硫化。在ENR 25和50薄膜的物理特性方面，它具有较高的拉伸强度（23.7 MPa），并符合马来西亚标准手套（SMG）的规格。浸渍的能力令人满意，因为形成了光滑的连续膜。除此之外，还分析了耐油性测试和接触角，以了解其耐油性随时间的变化以及ENR膜的润湿性参数。
