Persisting level of tire rejection and waste
?The challenge Persisting level of tire rejection and waste In tire manufacturing, low defect rates are an important factor in improving productivity. Defect rates tend to be high when tire producers use older type release agents in tire curing. This occurs because these products occasionally cause “flake-off” from the bladder to drop onto the mold. Transfer of paint remaining on the inside of the cured tire to their outside while handled by operators also cause imperfect and/or dirty tire aspect. This directly impacts the level of rejects and waste. Why us? A tire production free from flake-off and mold pollution To address this problem, our experts at Elkem Silicones developed the LYNDCOATTM ? BR1214 reactive single release formulation. It has been designed to allow for reduced usage vol
