Method of preparing a tire using a plasma treatment

A method of preparing a rubber tire component for use in a tire manufacturing process is disclosed. The process includes providing relative motion between the tire component (10) and a plasma treatment device (12) so as to plasma treat a surface of the tire component (10). The method may be used to...

Zusammenfassung:	A method of preparing a rubber tire component for use in a tire manufacturing process is disclosed. The process includes providing relative motion between the tire component (10) and a plasma treatment device (12) so as to plasma treat a surface of the tire component (10). The method may be used to increase the tack and/or the adhesion of the tire component (10) so as to eliminate or reduce the use of solvent-based tire cements in the tire manufacturing process. The method may further be used to increase the wettability of the tire component (10) so as to allow water-based compounds, such as water-based tire cements and striping inks, to be used in the tire manufacturing process.
