Standard Malaysian rubber 20 (SMR20)
SMR20 is a revolutionary change in the grading and presentation of natural rubber in the struggle with synthetic rubber. Hence the SMR20 scheme has a crucial role to play in the process of securing the status quo which natural rubber had been enjoying before the establishment of the synthetic industry. SMR20 is fast becoming a household word both among natural rubber (NR) producers and consumers.

As a result, buyers lost confidence in natural rubber because there is no guarantee of uniform quality and properties between the grades. Presentation is the accrued rubber itself, often viewed as the pool relative.
