Deproteinizing agent and method of preparing cationic deproteinized natural rubber latex using the same

Abstract

Disclosed are a deproteinizing agent comprising a proteolytic enzyme and one or more cationic surfactants selected from the group consisting of an alkylamine salt, an alkylamine derivative and quaternized compounds thereof; and a method of preparing a cationic deproteinized natural rubber latex, which comprises adding said deproteinizing agent to a field latex or an ammonia-treated latex thereby subjecting the latex to a deproteinization treatment and purifying the rubber particles in the latex.
