Product Overview

Technically Specified Natural Rubber, known as TSR, is one of the main types of raw rubber produced and exported from Sri Lanka, according to the Export Development Board. The board names it with RSS, crepe rubber and latex concentrate as the main grades of the industry. TSR is graded by measurement, not by eye. The board lists the technical parameters as dirt content, ash content, nitrogen content and volatile matter, together with rubber properties such as Wallace Plasticity and the Plasticity Retention Index (PRI). It says TSR is mostly exported for the manufacture of tyres, inner tubes and other rubber based products. TSR is listed here as available on request, and packaging is available on request. Send the TSR grade and the limits you work to, quantity, packing and destination port by email from the Contact page or the How to order page. Documents and test reports can be discussed for each order.
