Item Manufacture of acetic acid on rubber estates for use as a coagulant(1942) Hansford, C. G.,; Martin, W. S.; Uganda Department of AgricultureUnder war-time conditions the importation of pure acetic acid for use as a coagulant for rubber has become unreliable and a search has been made for a process for manufacture of a suitable coagulant locally. An investigation of local fermented liquors such as banana beer and sugar-cane juice failed to provide a culture of acetic acid bacteria suitable for use on a factory scale. Cultures were eventually obtained from vinegar and imported dried fruits, while others were supplied by Dr. Nattrass from the Scott Agricultural Laboratories.
