Abstract
Experiments designed to determine the variables which affect the ab sorption and retention of Hevea latex in fibrous batting revealed that the following are of para mount importance: (a) total non volatile content of the bath; (b) wetting time and its control through the addition of surface-ac tive agents; and (c) squeeze-roll pressure. Although the use of Hevea latex for treating batting is not a common textile-mill process, it is believed that the following resumé of the experiments will be of interest to all textile men con cerned with the control of continu ous operations in which a web of material is immersed in a saturat ing bath, subjected to pressure be tween rolls, and dried.
