Vulcanization

Curing press operators place green tyres into the curing press or onto press loading equipment. An impressive degree of automation was observed at Apollo tyres Kalamassery. The press utilizes steam to heat or cure the green tyre. Rubber curing or vulcanization transforms the tacky and pliable material to a non- tacky, less pliable, long lasting

SWOT analysis involves identifying business’s strengths and weaknesses, and examining the opportunities and threats which may affect the business. SWOT analysis aims to identify the key internal and external factors seen as important to achieving an objective. Strengths are the characteristics of the business that give it an advantage over others.

build its own Rubber factories and become the world’s largest Rubber industry. Later Charles Gujer experiment with some Rubber by heating it and the property of Rubber becomes actually good and this inspired further experiments soon process of vulcanization which gives stability to natural Rubber which was sticky when warm and hard when gold it was not good for tires. Later John Demonte use Rubber around bicycle tires. In late 19th century Rubber becomes common for car tires. Types of Rubber:

Natural rubber also known as india rubber. It is made by the juice of a tree, which is coagulated using acetic acid, smoked and dried. Natural rubber consist of polymers of the organic compound isoprene with some organic compound and water. Natural rubber are used in many applications and products. This is because natural rubber contain large stretch ratio and high resilience and it is waterproof. Rubber have unique physical properties and chemical properties. Rubber’s stress strain is modelled as

How does the elasticity of a rubber band change in different temperatures? Rubber can be made with two things: synthetic rubber and natural rubber. 75% of rubber today is made of synthetic rubber, created during WWII. Natural rubber is made from the rubber tree, the rubber tree’s scientific name is Hevea Brasiliensis. They are primarily found on plantations in Southeast Asia and tropical West Africa. Natural rubber has been used for over 1000 years; it was first used by South and Central American

This paper is designed for the reader to understand how chemistry is used in Auto Racing. The first main point to be addressed in this paper is Safety and how chemistry is used in the design of race cars and racing safety gear. The second main point to be addressed in this paper is the engine and how the car works. The third main point addressed in this paper is tires. First, Safety is necessary in everything in life, especially in any form of racing especially when you’re reaching speeds up to 200mph

they were comfortable enough to wear in the evening. In no time at all the boots were soon worn by all the British aristocrats. The original Wellington boot was made out leather until the 19th century. Hiram Hutchinson bought the patent for the vulcanization of rubber from Charles Goodyear. This patent allowed him to create a new version of these boots that were made with a natural rubber material. In no time all the Wellington boots were being made out of rubber. These rubber boots quickly became

Rubber Boom Slavery Dating back hundreds of years the indigenous people of South and Central America had discovered the many uses of rubber, taken from what is known as a "Hevea brasiliensis" or more commonly, a rubber tree. When the latex is extracted from the tree it is hardened and formed into rubber which natives would use for numerous tasks such as making shoes, handles for tools, and even rubber balls for sports (Dean 23). Due to its useful yet uncanny features it created an immediate

Fundamentally, a car tire is a car tire, effectively unchanged ever since Harvey Firestone perfect the vulcanization process in the early years of the 20th Century. Yet there have been some incremental developments in efficiency and utility in recent years, in particular the introduction in 1994 of “run flat” tires, which are designed to carry a vehicle at least fifty miles even after a puncture. This allows the driver to either get the vehicle home or maneuver it off the highway and into a repair
