Abstract
The present invention provides an effective method for fractionating rubber particles in natural rubber latex by particle size, and effective methods for transporting or preserving rubber particles. The present invention relates to a method for fractionating rubber particles in natural rubber latex by particle size, the method including centrifuging natural rubber latex in at least four stages at forces of 800 to 3,000×g, 6,500 to 10,000×g, 17,000 to 22,000×g, and 40,000 to 60,000×g to fractionate rubber particles. The present invention also relates to methods for transporting or preserving rubber particles, the methods including the steps of adding a buffer solution and an antioxidant to natural rubber latex or rubber particles fractionated from natural rubber latex; and freezing a mixture prepared in the above step.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
