  2. Chrome Peel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_Peel

    A common cause is failure to thoroughly clean the inside of the wheel and tire after the usage of emergency tire inflation applications such as "Fix-A-Flat." Under certain conditions, technicians may be able to slow down the process by sanding down or smoothing out the target area of the wheel, but eventually the chrome peels even more and the ...

  3. Vulcanization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcanization

    Accelerated vulcanization is carried out using various compounds that modify the kinetics of crosslinking; [8] this mixture is often referred to as a cure package. The main polymers subjected to sulfur vulcanization are polyisoprene (natural rubber) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), which are used for most street-vehicle tires. The cure ...

    Worker placing a tire in a mold before vulcanization. Sulfur vulcanization is a chemical process for converting natural rubber or related polymers into materials of varying hardness, elasticity, and mechanical durability by heating them with sulfur [citation needed] or sulfur-containing compounds.

  5. Repair kit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repair_kit

    A tire mobility kit is a package of equipment and accessories used for repairing vehicle tires. Hence, they are also called a tire repair kit or a tire inflator. The idea of a mobility kit is to have a small group of tools that are compact and easy to use. It benefits by taking up much less room in a trunk than even a temporary spare tire.

    The earliest 'plastic solder' can be traced to around 1940, a do-it-yourself solution to panel beating. This gave the consumer the ability to attempt reasonably priced and long lasting repairs. These early fillers were epoxy-based and one-part, drying by outgassing. Originally, the plastic fillers performed badly compared to solder, but later ...

    Colorized tire footprint pressure distribution. The contact patch is the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface.It is commonly used in the discussion of pneumatic (i.e. pressurized) tires, where the term is used strictly to describe the portion of the tire's tread that touches the road surface.

    In contrast, steel wheels are usually pressed from sheet metal, and then welded together (often leaving unsightly bumps) and must be painted to avoid corrosion and/or hidden with wheel covers/hub caps. Alloy wheels are prone to galvanic corrosion, which can cause the tires to leak air if appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Also ...

  9. Crumb rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumb_rubber

    Tire brand B was..."found to contain high concentrations of the compounds sulfur dioxide (DOT), 2-methyl-1-propene, 2-propanone, 2-methyl-2-pentene, 2,4-pentanedione, acetic acid and 2,4-(1H, 3H) pyrimidinedione." Chemicals extracted from raw tires in this study would be found in crumb rubber, which is made by grinding feedstock tires.
