DEK-TRON is proud
to offer this fine,
state-of-the–art
instrument. The apparatus
is designed to test the
Mechanical Stability of
concentrate natural lattices
and synthetic lattices when
subjected to high speed
mechanical stirring or
mechanical shear. Stirring
is applied to lattices until
the End Point or Latex
Instability is reached.

The approach of
the end point is
usually indicated by
a drop in meniscus
of the latex, loss
of turbulence, and
in some instances a
change on the sound
of the stirring
action.
The End Point is
determined by the
presence of small
pieces of coagulated
rubber and after and
increase amount of
coagulated rubber
after addition
agitation. The End
Point may be further
verified by
straining the latex
through the 180
micrometer stainless
steel screen. The
End Point in this
case is the presence
of approximately 1%
of coagulum based on
total solids.
