What is tyre manufacturing?

Tyre Manufacturing: The tyre industry is a significant consumer of rubber process oils. These oils contribute to the processing of rubber compounds used in tyre treads, sidewalls, and inner linings. They play a crucial role in achieving the desired balance of traction, durability, and fuel efficiency in tyres.

What materials are used in tyre production?

The main raw materials used in tyre production are: ● Natural rubber: This is a polymer made from latex collected from rubber plants. Natural rubber is utilized for tyre tread and sidewalls because of its excellent elasticity, strength, and durability. ● Synthetic rubber: This is a synthetic polymer created from petroleum, coal, or natural gas.

What products do you supply to the rubber industry?

We supply the rubber industry with a broad portfolio of predispersed chemicals, processing promoters, and vulcanization and filling activators. In addition, the portfolio also includes anti-sun check waxes, release agents, tire marking paints, and tire curing bladders.

Why is synthetic rubber used in tyres?

Synthetic rubber is utilized for different components of tyres, including as the inner liner, apex, and bead, since it is more resistant to heat, abrasion, and ageing than natural rubber. ● Carbon black: This is a fine black powder formed by incomplete hydrocarbon combustion.

What is tyre production process?

Tyre Production Process The tyre production process consists of several steps that transform the raw materials into a finished product. The main steps are: ● Blending: This is where the rubber compounds are prepared by mixing different types of rubber, carbon black, and chemicals in giant blenders called Banbury mixers.

How tyres are made?

Milling: This is where the rubber strips are further processed and shaped into various components of tyres, such as treads, sidewalls, beads, etc. Some components are also coated with another layer of rubber for better bonding. ● Building: This is where the tyre components are assembled on a drum in a specific order and orientation.
