General Info:
Before the early 1960's rubber was produced in 3 forms - ECB, PLC & Sheet. The actual properties and grade of these were determined visually and was prone to human error. Later, the rubber industry started producing rubber with exactly known properties and specifications. Thus Technically Specified Rubber (TSR) grading system was established. I n India , it is called Indian Standard Natural Rubber (ISNR). ISNR (TSR) specification includes 7 grades: ISNR 3CV, ISNR 3L, ISNR 5, ISNR 10, ISNR 15, ISNR 20 (TSR 20) and ISNR 50
* ISNR: Indian Standard Natural Rubber
* TSR: Technically Specified Rubber
* ISNR-20 (TSR20) - Mostly manufactured from shell scrap, tree lace and cup lumps.
