Preparation of VytexÔ Natural Rubber Latex from Field Latex

Authors: Travis Honeycutt, Matt Clark, Vystar Corporation

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to describe a means of chemically reducing the antigenic protein (AP) level in natural field rubber latex without diminishing the physical properties of the latex.

1.2 Procedure

This procedure is performed prior to concentration. The beginning feedstock is field latex, containing approximately 27% total solids content (TSC) prior to de-sludging.

 

1.3 Results

The protein results of this procedure are to be determined by Donald Guthrie Foundation Education Research Institute, an independent laboratory analysis using the ASTM D6499-03 Inhibition ELISA protocol. Once the aging process is completed, as proscribed in Section 4.2, a sample of the batch should be sent within three (3) days to the following address for protein testing:

3.0 MIXING & CENTRIFUGING of VYTEXÔ NATURAL RUBBER LATEX

***********************

4.0 CONCLUSION & DISCUSSION

4.1 A charged surfactant is mixed with the natural rubber latex emulsion and stirred to extract or ‘wash’ the proteins from the cisisoprene micelles.  The surfactant acts on the protein molecules through van der Waal forces or weak hydrogen bonding to bring the protein into the hydrophilic phase.  Excess surfactant is used to keep the micelles suspended in the hydrophilic phase.  Meanwhile, insoluble aluminum hydroxide is added to the emulsion which captures the proteins with electron pair sharing bonding.  The resultant insoluble complex is separated from the emulsion by centrifuging or filtration.

4.2 Similar to existing practices by processors of latex, Vytex NRL should be stored for 21 days for maturation purposes prior to distribution.  Further, the Certificate of Analysis (COA) that will accompany every Vytex NRL, as described in the Services of Exhibit D, should only include test results taken immediately after the 21 day maturation process.  An example of the COA is attached for reference.  The following is a list of parameters with definitions for completion;

·

Date Issued: The initial starting date of the production run.  This should be listed by month & day and year.  For example- February 2, 2008

·

Lot#: The lot # is defined by the month, day, and last two digits of the year.  Also noted will be the trial run.  For example- 020208/12

·

Product Name: The product name will always be defined as Vytex™ NRL

·

Customer: The customer will define the recipient of Vytex NRL.  For example- Regent Hospital Products Sdn Bhd

·

Address: The address will reflect the destination of the Vytex NRL material.  For example- Lot 9, Lorong Perusahaan 4, Kulim Industrial Estate 09000 Kulim, Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia

The test result for each property measured should be the median value of at least three samples measured per property.
