Ribbed Smoked Sheet Rubber commonly known as RSS is made directly from latex which is treated and then made to coagulate.
The coagulated latex sheets are then air dried or smoked in ovens. The smoked sheets are visually graded on the basis of certain parameters and then packed in bales.
Technically Specified Rubber (TSR) also known as block or crumb rubber is graded according to precise technical parameters such as dirt content, ash content, nitrogen content, volatile matter and properties of the rubber such as its Wallace Plasticity (PO) and its Plasticity Retention Index (PRI). Our processing facility in Ghana processes close to 22,000MT of cuplumps per annum into high grade Technically Specified Rubber Grade 20 (TSR 20) for our customers in Europe and Asia.
