Natural Rubber Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) grade 4 is a widely recognized and utilized form of natural rubber, playing a significant role in various industries. This particular grade balances consistent quality with economical production, making it a popular choice for manufacturers across the globe.
RSS-4 is processed from fresh field latex, meticulously collected from rubber plantations. The process involves treating the latex to induce coagulation, after which the resulting coagulum is rolled into sheets. These sheets are then passed through ribbed rollers, which create the characteristic ribbed pattern, increasing the surface area for more efficient drying. The final crucial step is smoking the sheets in specialized smokehouses.
