Tyre Retreading Process and Methods
ďƒ˜ Retreaded tyres have been a part of the tyre market for many years.
What is tyre retreading? ďƒ˜ Tyre retreading or remoulding is a process by which the old tyres are made useful by removing damaged treads (rubber belts) and substituting them with new treads.
Two types of processes ďƒ˜ Retreading of tyres usually involves two types of processes -- pre curing (cold process) and mould curing (hot process). ďƒ˜ Good quality retreaded tyres can be created using both these processes.
Pre cure (cold process) ďƒ˜ This is a new and modern system of tyre retreading. Using adhesives the tread strip is applied to tyre casings. ďƒ˜ In this process, tyre castings are fixed with a tread rubber that has already been hardened by treating it with sulphur at a high temperature.
Mould cure (hot process) ďƒ˜ While treated tread rubber is used in pre cure, raw rubber is used in mould cure. It is fixed to the tyre casing, which is then inserted in a mould where tread is created. ďƒ˜ Mould cure is a more complex process than pre cure. An exclusive mould is required for each type of tyre in this process. The hot process is mainly used for off-the-road use due to its toughness.
As good as new The retreaded tyre is then checked for any defects. If the tyres meet the specific standards they are subjected to some trimming. It is then painted and is as good as any new tyre.
