TYRE RETREADING
[EIRI/EDPR/3954] J.C.: 2078XL
INTRODUCTION
Tyre is made up of natural rubber or synthetic rubber .natural rubber is present

as milky liquid or latex in the bark of rubber tree, HEVEA BRASILIENSIS. Natural
rubber combines with carbon, oil, sulphur and the chemicals at a temperature of
100-140 °C and under goes a number of stages of processes. Synthetic rubber is
any vulcanisable man made rubber like polymer.
Retreading is a process that provides tyres with a second life by giving a new
tread to a worn tyre. Retreading is the generic term for tyre reconditioning which
extends the useful life of a worn tyre for its original purpose by the addition of
new material. In the majority of cases the tread rubber is the only part of a tyre to
wear away. The structure of the tyre remains intact. As the tyre construction has
been produced to be capable of more than one life, to use this potential by
replacing the worn tread makes sound environmental and economic sense. Whilst
a car tyre is retreaded only once, OTR tyres are often retreaded two or three times
and aircraft tyres many, many times. It is essential that casings are carefully
inspected before retreading, to ensure that there is no casing damage that could
reduce the safety and performance of the retreaded tyre. When the casing has
been approved, the worn tread is buffed away and a new tread is bonded to the
tyre casing. There are two different process techniques (hot and cold), but both
are similar to the manufacture of a new tyre, bonding a new tread through the
application of heat and pressure for a predetermined time. Retreaded tyres are
manufactured to high standards, using highly sophisticated machinery. There is
no doubt that professionally-made retreads are as safe as new tyres. With lower
production costs than new tyres, retreads have a purchase price that is normally
between 25 % and 50% lower than comparable new tyres.

Tyre Retreading is a new technology, where the old tyres are made serviceable by
removing worn out and damaged treads and replacing it with new treads. New
treads are available in the market in form of rolls and inbrief, in can be put on
old tyre and cured with the help of steam. Similar to the new tyres, the treated
tyres can be very well used on all vehicles, irrespective of light or heavy vehicles.
With a safe and new technology, which is being adopted now-a-days, it will be
more easy and economical to produce tyres.
Retreading of damaged tyre is done by conventional hot matrix curing in most

cases. But recently a new technology has been developed called "Pre-cured Tread
Rubber Retreading Process" which is commonly known as "Cold Process
Retreading". In this process, the Pre-cured Tread Rubber already has a tread
pattern on it eliminating the need for a tread matrix at vulcanizing stage. Tread
Rubber is pre-cured along with other raw materials and manufactured in the
factory under controlled conditions and given a well-researched pattern ensuring
that the transporter gets a reliable perfectly finish product. Retreading Tyre by
pre-cured method gives 50% more mileage than the tyre retreaded by
conventional process.
Tires that are repaired and retreaded with the help of suitable tread compounds
to receive suitable mileage are known as retread tires. Tires gradually wear down
due to road travel. The part of tire which wears down is known as tire tread.
However, the casing of the tire does not get affected to a great extent while
travelling on roads. The tread of the tire can be replaced and this replacement
allows the vehicle to run with full potential. This provides economic advantage to
the vehicle’s owner and also ensures that the tires are not discarded impulsively.
As a matter of fact, significant cost reduction can be attained using retread tires
as the cost of a remolded tire is 30%-50% lower than that of a new tire. The
retread tire market is anticipated to witness significant transitions in terms of
demand. The global retread tire market is anticipated to witness increasing
investments from tire manufacturers. On the other hand, fluctuations in raw
material prices may act as a hampering factor and cause fluctuating market
growth. Since, oil is a key raw material used for tire retreading, any fluctuations
in oil prices are capable of causing fluctuations in retread tire market growth.
The functions of a tire are pretty simple – provide a smooth grip, maintain
contact between the road and the vehicle, and most of all, not let the vehicle “slip”
and cause accidents. It can often be noticed that new tires perform these tasks
with absolutely no difficulty, however, as the vehicle gets older, the tires begin to
lose their efficiency. This is because of a common problem known as wearing out
of tires.
Due to excessive friction produced when the tires are in a movement against the
road, components of the tire, known as threads, wear out and this causes a loss
in the grip for the vehicle. Luckily, you do not have to dig a hole in your wallet
every time the threads of your tire wear out. Instead, you can do something
popularly known as tire retreading.
As the tyre starts to wear off, the treads on the tyres starts getting shallow. The
tread pattern is essential to make the vehicle safe on wet and grimy roads. Keep
these things in mind to increase tyre life.
