T.S.R Centrifuged Latex Gloves

Technically Specified Rubber (T.S.R)

The Industry started in the late 1960's to produce rubber whose properties are exactly known. Prior to this, rubber was produced in three forms- ECB, PLC & SHEET. However the actual properties and grade of these were determined visually and therefore was commonly susceptible to human error. It was felt that a new and standardised method was required to scientifically establish properties of various grades of latex and to ensure proper grading. Thus Technically Specified Rubber (TSR) grading was established. We ourselves are one of the pioneers in this field in India. Today it is a well established industry providing rubber, which meets exact standards.

In India the specification for this divides various quality levels into 7 grades. ISNR 3 CV ISNR 3L ISNR 5 ISNR 10 ISNR 15 ISNR 20 ISNR 50 ISNR 20 ISNR 3L

The first three are called latex grades: They use coagulated field latex as the chief raw material, the remaining four use cuplump as raw material. Of these the biggest market in India is for ISNR-20 grade which is used by most tyre manufacturers.

Testing Facilities Stringent testing as per norms is carried out to ensure that production meets various parameters. We have a well equipped lab to undertake testing. From a lot, samples are cut from two opposing corners of every tenth bale. The two are then bulked and tested for various parameters.

The parameters tested for are Dirt Content Initial Plasticity (P0) ASN Content Plasticity Retention Index (PRI) Nitrogen Content Colour or Louibond Scale (in case of ISNR 3L) Volatile Matter Content Mooney Viscosity (in case of ISNR 3CV)

Effluent Treatment The crumb rubber factory produces around 1.5 lakh liters of effluent every day. Being environmentally conscious we have set up exclusive effluent treatment plants to treat this effluent water and convert it into usable forms. The treated effluent is thoroughly cleaned so that it is converted to irrigation water and then utilized in surrounding land for this very purpose. At times of water shortage, the water is recycled for use in the factory itself. The factory itself is set in an area of 10 acres where various agricultural products are grown.

Centrifuged Latex

As mentioned, we are the largest manufacturers of cenex in India. We have exacting quality checks in place to ensure that we produce latex of the highest quality. Our clients depend on us to provide them with consistent products. We pride ourselves in having built up a loyal client list who prefer to buy from us.
