Raw, natural rubber. Determination of the plasticity retention index (PRI). | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies a method to determine the plasticity retention index (PRI) of raw natural rubber. The PRI is a measure of the resistance of raw natural rubber to thermal oxidation. A high resistance to thermal oxidation is shown as a high value of the index. PRI is not an absolute value and cannot give an absolute classification of plasticity number of different natural rubber after oxidation.
