Abstract
The natural rubber master batch of the present invention is prepared by mixing a natural rubber latex having its amide linkages cleaved and an aqueous slurry having a filler dispersed in water. Alternatively, the natural rubber master batch is prepared by a method including a step for mixing a natural rubber latex and an aqueous slurry containing dispersed fillers having a specific particle size distribution and a limited range of 24M4DBP absorption. The natural rubber composition of the present invention is prepared by compounding natural rubber, which contains non-rubber components prepared by cleaving amide linkages of natural rubber latex, with silica and/or a particular inorganic filler.
