The kinetics of epoxidation of natural rubber production waste by peracetic acid generated in situ from hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid solution in biphasic system water-xylene were studied. The rate constants and the activation energy were found. Insignificant level of side reactions was shown. Keywords: Epoxidation, peracetic acid, natural rubber scrap, kinetics.
