DRC, TSC and MST are very important and indispensable parameters in the production and processing of dipped goods and the dry rubber. These parameters are suitable for the ensuring of high quality items such as hand gloves, condoms, balloons, catheters, tyres, balls, tubes, footballs, volleyballs, basketballs, handballs, goofballs, tennis balls amongst others. Due to the low DRC of freshly tapped NRL, a method has to be used in increasing the DRC, from about 30% to about 60%, before it can be used to make dipped goods. Various methods of concentrating NRL, exist. However, creaming with chemicals is simplar and easier. Three chemicals were used to cream the latex. The conventional material sodium alginate, Tamarind Seed Powder, Cassava Processed Effluent and an equal portions of Cassava and Tamarind. The fourth, equal portions of cassava and Tamarind, showed the best results followed by cassava and sodium alginate and Tamarind.
