上記製法によれば、ケン化により分離したリン化合物が洗浄除去されるので、改質天然ゴムのリン含有量を抑えることができ、tanδを低減できる。また、ケン化処理により、改質天然ゴム中の蛋白質が分解されるので、改質天然ゴムの窒素含有量を抑えることができ、よりtanδを低減できる。さらに、ゴム中のナトリウムとカリウムの合計含有量が所定量以下となるまで洗浄することにより、ケン化処理に使用したアルカリに由来するナトリウムやカリウムを充分に除去でき、さらにtanδを低減できる。
pH調整において、該pHは、好ましくは3.0以上、より好ましくは3.5以上に調整される。一方、該pHは、好ましくは5.0以下、より好ましくは4.5以下に調整される。上記範囲内にpH調整することにより、製法1では、凝集ゴムの粉砕及び粉砕ゴムの洗浄により、ナトリウム及びカリウムを充分に除去できる。また、製法2では、高分子凝集剤の添加により所望の大きさの凝集物(凝固物)が得られ、その後の洗浄によりナトリウム及びカリウムを充分に除去できる。

80m2/g未満では、耐摩耗性が低下する傾向がある。また、カーボンブラックのN2SAは280m2/g以下が好ましく、160m2/g以下がより好ましい。280m2/gを超えると、分散性が劣り、耐摩耗性が低下する傾向がある。
なお、カーボンブラックのチッ素吸着比表面積は、JIS K6217のA法によって求められる。
なお、カーボンブラックのDBP吸油量は、JIS K6217-4の測定方法によって求められる。

上記製法によれば、ケン化により分離したリン化合物が洗浄除去されるので、改質天然ゴムのリン含有量を抑えることができ、tanδを低減できる。また、ケン化処理により、改質天然ゴム中の蛋白質が分解されるので、改質天然ゴムの窒素含有量を抑えることができ、よりtanδを低減できる。更に、ケン化処理された天然ゴムラテックスをpH調整した(酸でゴムを凝集させた)際、残存する酸をアルカリ金属炭酸塩で中和することにより、ゴム中の窒素含有量を一層低減でき、更にtanδを低減できる。また、優れた耐摩耗性も確保できる。
pH調整において、該pHは、好ましくは3.0以上、より好ましくは3.5以上に調整される。一方、該pHは、好ましくは5.0以下、より好ましくは4.5以下に調整される。上記範囲内にpH調整することにより、製法1では、その後のアルカリ金属炭酸塩による処理により、蛋白質を充分に除去できる。また、製法2では、高分子凝集剤の添加により所望の大きさの凝集物(凝固物)が得られ、その後のアルカリ金属炭酸塩による処理により蛋白質を充分に除去できる。
