The effect of different stabilizer systems in latex compounding on the quality of condoms was studied. It was observed that a casein potassium laurate system significantly reduces rejections due to pin holes without adversely affecting the quality of condoms. A slight increase in mechanical strength was observed from the measurement of the air pressure necessary to burst the condom and volumes at burst. Retention of tensile properties after ageing was also found to be better for the casein potassium laurate combination.
