TSR 20 CV Technically Specified Rubber
TSR 20 CV is a Technically Specified Rubber with Controlled Viscosity, manufactured from either field-grade coagulum or unsmoked sheets. The Mooney Viscosity of TSR 20 CV is set around a value of 65 (+7,-5). When compared to TSR 10 CV, TSR 20 CV contains a higher dirt content, indicating variations in manufacturing and refining processes.
Globally, rubber-producing nations adhere to their own TSR standards, ensuring alignment with the international ISO guidelines. Notably, Thailand follows the STR designation, while Indonesia and Malaysia opt for the SIR and SMR designations, respectively.
