Radiation vulcanization of natural rubber latex (RVNRL) is an alternative technology to conventional sulphur vulcanization. To eliminate some public members sceptical view toward the radioactivity of the prevulcanized latex produced using gamma radiation, RVNRL was prepared at several radiation doses and then their radioactivity concentration were measured using gamma counting technique. The activity concentration level of Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40 in RVNRL found to be not significantly different from non-vulcanized natural rubber latex (NRL). The reported radioactivity proved that using gamma radiation in the RVNRL preparation could not ionized and produce radioactive materials from NRL minerals. Hence, it is concluded that RVNRL is safe to be used as the main raw material in latex dipped products industry.
