Popis: Kinetic evidence is presented for the occurrence in Hevea latex particles of a trace substance that retards the hydrochlorination reaction. No retardation effect is observed with synthetic polyisoprene latex. The chemical nature of the retarder in Hevea latex particles is not known, but it is likely to be a basic substance. Its retardation action reflects its power to deactivate the reactive precursor of the hydrochlorination reaction, which is interpreted as a form of ion pair (H+, Cl−). A constant amount of the precursor is deactivated by the retarder, irrespective of the temperature or the pressure of the hydrochlorination reaction.
