Cold Retread
Cold retreading, also called pre-cure retreading, bonds a pre-vulcanised tread strip to a buffed casing using adhesive and low-temperature curing in an autoclave. The tread rubber is already formed and cured before application. Cold retreading is faster and uses less energy than hot retreading, making it popular for high-volume commercial tyre operations.
