In this operation, molds are submerged in a tank containing electrolytes such as those formed when calcium nitrate is diluted in water. This water based coagulant adheres to the surface of the mold when dried. When latex comes in contact with the mold it destabilizes forming a latex film around it. In addition, to electrolytes, the coagulant may contain surfactants, mositurizers and de-molding agents.
