TSR 10 CV Technically Specified Rubber
TSR 10 CV represents Technically Specified Rubber with Controlled Viscosity, manufactured from either field-grade coagulum or unsmoked sheets. It is characterized by its Mooney Viscosity, consistently maintained at a value of about 60 (+7,-5). Compared to TSR 20 CV, TSR 10 CV exhibits a lower dirt content, indicating its higher purity and precision in production.
Globally, rubber-producing nations have established their TSR standards, conforming to the international ISO standard. For reference, Thailand utilizes the STR designation, while Indonesia and Malaysia adhere to the SIR and SMR designations, respectively.
Distinguishing Features and Benefits of TSR 10 CV:
- Technological Properties: TSR 10 CV meets stringent technical criteria, classifying it as an advanced choice for specialized applications.
- Mixing Characteristics: Its rapid breakdown enhances the mixing process, optimizing production efficiency.
- Viscosity Control: The consistent viscosity level across batches ensures standardized performance metrics.
- Operational Efficiency: The inherent softness and uniform viscosity of TSR 10 CV offer cost benefits by eliminating premastication and reducing reject rates.
- Non-scorch Properties: This quality facilitates the utilization of elevated curing temperatures without the associated risk of rejects.
- Additional Benefits: Efficiency in mixing leads to optimized throughput, minimized waste, superior chipping and chunking resistance, and improved green strength.
Applications of TSR 10 CV:
TSR 10 CV is designed for applications requiring precision and durability. Its specific properties make it suitable for a diverse range of products and systems such as:
- Mechanical mountings
- Railway buffers
- Vehicle suspension systems
- Conveyor belt covers
- Retreading cushion gum
- Windshield wiper blades
- Brake assembly units
- Injection moulded products, specifically rubber/metal bonded components.
