Decreasing allergenicity of natural latex rubber prior to vulcanization.U.S. patent: 7,056,970 Issued: June 6, 2006 Inventor: Travis Honeycutt Assigned: Vystar, LLC Key statement: The allergenicity of natural rubber latex is reduced prior to its vulcanization vulcanization (vŭl'kənəzā`shən), treatment of rubber to give it certain qualities, e.g., strength, elasticity, and resistance to solvents, and to render it impervious to moderate heat and cold. by admixing with aluminum hydroxide, lignin lignin (lĭg`nĭn), a highly polymerized and complex chemical compound especially common in woody plants. The cellulose walls of the wood become impregnated with lignin, a process called lignification, which greatly increases the strength and or fumed silica to denature de·na·ture v. 1. To change the nature or natural qualities of. 2. To render unfit to eat or drink without destroying usefulness in other applications, especially adding methyl alcohol to ethyl alcohol. 3. the antigenic proteins. |
