Tire Maintenence and Tire Care

     Tire Maintenence and Tire Care Tires are the second most cost-effective component of your vehicle, except fuel. Therefore you have to care for them on a regular basis. Inspection of the tire is a matter of a couple of minutes, but its saving is huge. You can simply identify and troubleshoot most of the problems accompanied by tires in use. Let us discuss, what are the areas you have to pay attention to get maximum from your vehicle tires.  There are six factors you have to consider when proper maintenance of vehicle tires 1. Maintain correct inflation air pressure of tires If you are not maintaining recommended air pressure in tires, it causes the physical damage to tires as well as to lives Most accidents are caused by under-inflated tires Therefore you have to check your vehicle's tire's air pressure at regular time intervals, recommended once a month. If your vehicle run in a cold climate, drives long-distance regularly and drives in poor road conditions, yo...

Natural Rubber

 The natural rubber has a vegetative origin. It is extracted as latex from the bark of the Hevea tree. Natural rubber latex is a polymer. The monomer or building unit of natural rubber latex Isoprene. The molecule consists of thousands of Isoprene units, joined end to end resulting in poly Isoprene or Natural rubber.  The natural rubber polymer is almost 100% Cis-1,4 poly Isoprene and the  average molecular weight (M W)  is in the  3.4 × 10 6    range Natural rubber tends to crystallize spontaneously at low temperatures or when it is stretched, because of its high structural regularity. Low-temperature crystallization cause stiffening of the polymer, but it can be easily reversed by warming. Crystallization of natural rubber results in high tensile strength, and resistance to cutting, tearing, and abrasion. Composition of Field Natural Rubber Latex Material                       ...
