RSS 3 rubber is a visually graded natural rubber sheet, also known as Ribbed Smoked Sheet Grade 3. Buyers typically assess RSS grades by the appearance and condition of the sheets, including cleanliness, dryness, colour and visible defects.
Ngoc Chau Natural Rubber receives enquiries from buyers seeking RSS 3 natural rubber from Vietnam. The sample test results and packing references below help buyers review the product. Final quality criteria, availability, shipment details and documents should be confirmed for each order.
RSS 3 Grade and Quality Assessment
RSS 3 is assessed primarily through visual inspection of the ribbed smoked sheets. Buyers may review cleanliness, dryness, strength, colour, consistency and visible imperfections against the grading basis agreed for the purchase.
The grade name describes a visual grade; it should not be treated as a guarantee that every shipment will have identical laboratory values. Before ordering, the buyer and supplier should agree on the applicable inspection method, acceptance criteria and any additional test requirements.
RSS is visually graded sheet rubber. It is different from technically specified block rubber such as SVR, which is purchased against its applicable technical specification. Confirm the quality basis in the sales contract or order documents.
RSS 3 Sample Test Results
The laboratory report supplied for review records the following results for an RSS 3 sample:
| Parameter | Sample result | What it indicates |
|---|---|---|
| Dirt retained on 45 μm aperture | 0.035% m/m | Measures the dirt retained during the test. |
| Ash | 0.45% m/m | Measures the inorganic residue remaining after testing. |
| Volatile matter | 0.57% m/m | Measures volatile matter in the tested sample. |
| Nitrogen | 0.46% m/m | Measures the nitrogen content of the sample. |
| Initial Wallace Plasticity (Po) | 47.8 | Indicates the sample’s initial plasticity under the test conditions. |
| PRI | 85 | Indicates how well the sample retains plasticity after the specified accelerated ageing test. |
| Mooney Viscosity ML (1′+4′), 100°C | 80.2 | Indicates the sample’s viscosity under the specified test conditions. |
These results apply to the tested sample only. They are provided for reference and are not guaranteed values for every RSS 3 shipment. Please confirm the applicable batch COA, if available, and the acceptance requirements for each order.
