Abstract
Natural rubber containing viscosity stabilizers is treated under drying conditions to result in 10% or less of the difference of gel content and 85% or more of molecular weight retention between before and after drying, and methods for manufacturing natural rubber comprise treating under drying conditions to result in 10% or less of the difference of gel content and 85% or more of molecular weight retention between before and after drying. Natural rubber containing viscosity stabilizers is treated with a strainer, and methods for manufacturing natural rubber comprise treating with a strainer after compounding hydrazide stearate into the natural rubber. Gelation (storage hardening) is suppressed and a decrease in molecular weight is prevented.
