Some properties of epoxidised natural rubber (ENR) and epoxidised deproteinised natural rubber (EDPNR) were examined. It was found that DPNR latex reacts with peracetic acid in a similar manner as NR latex. Differences in the properties of modified rubbers are due to differences in the protein level of the raw materials used. Low gel content property of DPNR was also observed in the corresponding modified rubber, indicating that the processability of EDPNR was better than that of ENR. Epoxidation of rubber lattices does not cause much change in the non-rubber components of the rubbers.
