Kottayam , Nov. 16 Sheet rubber closed flat at Rs 80 a kg both at Kottayam and Kochi on supply concerns. Certain major manufacturers were reported to be buyers on the grade. The market seemed to be sustaining at current levels due to the shortage of rubber in the physical front. Ungraded rubber firmed up on extremely tight supply but latex lost further on low demand.
