RSS 1 Premium Smoked Sheet

Green Book RSS 1 for industrial and specialty compounds with tight dirt limits.

RSS 1 is the top visual and laboratory grade in the smoked-sheet family. Dirt content is at or below 0.05%, ash at or below 0.50%, and PRI at or above 60. Industrial compounders and specialty tire lines use RSS 1 when sheet appearance and cleanliness justify a premium over RSS 3 or TSR.

Industrial and specialty uses

Engineered goods with thin sections, pharmaceutical rubber components, and high-end industrial mouldings where ash and dirt directly affect cure and appearance. RSS 1 is not the volume tire grade; it is the cleanliness grade within the sheet family.

Visual and laboratory inspection

Green Book visual grading for bubbles and blemishes is the first gate. Laboratory confirmation covers dirt, ash, volatile matter, nitrogen, and PRI. Sheet-grade on the contract reads RSS 1 (Green Book). Seasonal volume can be limited; book early for quarterly programmes.

Packing and lead time

33.33 kg sheets in wooden crates, 19.6 MT per container. Lead time is three to four weeks when seasonal volume is tight. FOB Belawan or Palembang with full export documentation and loading photos.

RSS 1 FAQ

Premium smoked sheet specs and ordering.

Which buyers specify RSS 1 smoked sheet instead of RSS 3 or TSR?

Industrial compounders needing dirt at or below 0.05% and ash at or below 0.50%, plus specialty tire and engineered rubber lines where Green Book RSS 1 designation is written into the raw-material specification.

What dirt content limit defines RSS 1 on this grade browse page?

Dirt at or below 0.05% (w/w) on the export COA, with ash at or below 0.50% and volatile matter at or below 0.80%. Visual grading follows Green Book RSS 1 appearance standards before laboratory release.

Why can RSS 1 smoked sheet need longer lead times than RSS 3?

Premium sheet output is limited by seasonal tapping and smoking capacity at partner mills. Lead time is three to four weeks when volume is constrained. Quarterly contracts secure allocation ahead of peak demand.

What PRI floor applies to Indonesian RSS 1 export lots?

PRI at or above 60 on the pre-shipment report, higher than RSS 3 at 50. Combined with tight dirt and ash limits, RSS 1 suits oxidative-sensitive industrial recipes and long warehouse holds.
