The latex is rolled into ribbed sheets and slowly smoked in drying chambers, resulting in durable rubber sheets with excellent elasticity and strength.

The smoking process not only enhances the mechanical performance of the rubber but also gives RSS its characteristic brown color, improves resistance to aging, and ensures uniform quality across each sheet.

Ribbed Smoked Sheet Rubber is classified into standardized grades from RSS1 to RSS5, allowing manufacturers to select the most suitable quality based on purity, appearance, and performance requirements.

RSS1

A premium-grade material with a light color, clean surface, and minimal impurities, making it ideal for high-end applications such as medical components, precision automotive parts, and specialty rubber products.

RSS2

Offers strong elasticity and good color consistency, commonly used in tires, automotive components, and engineered industrial rubber goods.

RSS3

The most widely used commercial grade, providing balanced mechanical performance and cost efficiency for large-scale rubber manufacturing, including tires, hoses, belts, and footwear.

RSS4 and RSS5

Economical grades with a darker appearance and natural markings, suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications and general manufacturing where aesthetic quality is not critical.

Ribbed Smoked Sheet Rubber is extensively used in tire manufacturing, automotive components, conveyor belts, hoses, footwear, molded rubber parts, vibration dampers, and various engineering applications.

The key benefits of RSS include excellent tensile strength, high elasticity, strong abrasion resistance, stable performance under pressure, good processability, and cost efficiency for mass production industries.

As a biodegradable and environmentally friendly natural material, RSS provides a sustainable alternative to synthetic rubber while maintaining reliable performance for both heavy-duty and general-purpose applications.
