RSS Smoked Sheet Rubber

Green Book RSS sheets for tire tread, industrial rubber, and specialty compounds.

Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) remains the reference form for buyers who want visually graded natural rubber with long market history. Our smoked-sheet programme covers RSS 1 premium industrial lots and RSS 3 tire-grade sheets, both inspected to Green Book appearance standards with laboratory confirmation of dirt, ash, volatile matter, and PRI. Sheets ship in 33.33 kg units in wooden crates or palletised bundles.

When RSS sheets beat TSR bales

RSS suits buyers who grade visually at receipt, need a recognised Green Book designation on the contract, or run specialty compounds where sheet appearance correlates with processing behaviour. Tire plants with RSS experience often keep a sheet blend for certain tread lines even as TSR handles bulk volume. Industrial buyers choose RSS 1 when dirt and ash limits are tighter than standard TSR.

Green Book grading and inspection

Sheets are classified against Green Book (RSS) visual standards for bubbles, blemishes, and uniformity, then confirmed in the laboratory for dirt content, ash, volatile matter, nitrogen, and PRI. RSS 1 and RSS 3 designations on the contract match the sheet-grade line on the specification sheet. Export lots are not downgraded silently at the port.

Packing and container loading

Sheets are packed at 33.33 kg unit weight in wooden crates or palletised bundles suitable for forklift handling at the receiving warehouse. Container MOQ is 19.6 MT. Loading photos, weight certificates, and certificate of origin accompany every shipment from Belawan or Palembang.

RSS sheet FAQ

Green Book grading, MOQ, and export logistics for smoked sheets.

Who should browse RSS smoked sheets instead of TSR bales on this site?

Tire plants with established RSS tread programmes, industrial compounders that visually grade incoming rubber, and buyers who need Green Book designations on the purchase contract. RSS 1 suits premium industrial lines; RSS 3 covers standard tire-grade sheet supply.

How does Green Book inspection work for RSS sheets exported from Indonesia?

Sheets are classified visually against Green Book bubble and blemish limits, then confirmed in the laboratory for dirt, ash, volatile matter, nitrogen, and PRI. The sheet-grade field on the specification sheet states RSS 1 or RSS 3 explicitly so receiving QC matches the contract.

What container minimum applies to RSS smoked sheet export lots?

One 20 ft FCL at 19.6 MT net weight in 33.33 kg sheets. RSS 1 premium lots may need three to four weeks lead time when seasonal volume is limited. RSS 3 tire-grade sheets typically ship in two to three weeks FOB Belawan or Palembang.

How are RSS sheets packed for ocean shipment from Indonesian ports?

33.33 kg sheets in wooden crates or palletised bundles with forklift-friendly stacking. Dry ventilated containers are standard. Certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, and loading photos leave with every lot.
