On February 27th, the US Tire Renovation and Maintenance Information Bureau (TRIB) publicly stated that it supports the “double-reverse” investigation of Chinese imported truck and bus tires.

The agency stressed that the continued increase in low-quality imported tires has adversely affected the US market and the US environment.

It is reported that TRIB is working with the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to investigate the negative impact of imported tires on the US retreading market. ”

TRIB did not disclose the way of cooperation with ITC, nor did it testify at a hearing held by the US Department of Commerce.

But the agency said that China's imports of low-quality truck and bus tires, which are priced below the cost of raw materials, are affecting the US refurbishment market.

In general, retread tires can save 30%-60% of the cost compared to new commercial truck tires.

TRIB Managing Director David Stevens said: "Many low-priced imported tires are of poor quality and can no longer be refurbished. Therefore, these disposable tires can not only be recycled many times, but also cause disease breeding."

He said that in the short run, these inferior imported tires may save costs, "but in the long run, it has adversely affected our retread tire market and the truck and bus tire industry."

David Stevens believes that the value created by these imported tires is small, but it can threaten the employment of thousands of workers in the United States, and it also causes a lot of pollution to the environment.

“We are committed to ensuring that the US retreading market is not affected by the dumping of foreign products,” he said.

Neoprene Rubber Strip

What are the advantages of specifying Neoprene rubber?
Neoprene rubber, commonly known as Chloroprene, is a solid rubber material with a good resistance to oils, chemicals, UV, ozone and weather conditions in general. With its excellent strength and abrasion properties, combined with a wide temperature range of between -35?C and 125?C (depending on the grade of rubber), Neoprene has the right characteristics to be used in a number of industrial applications, for example, for sealing gaskets to protect against the ingress of water and dust.
Neoprene rubber is available in a selection of different grades, including commercial, BS (British Standard) and flame retardant specifications.It is available in a wide variety of thicknesses.
Neoprene sheets can be moulded or extruded to produce complex shapes to suit customer`s specifications, such as Neoprene Rubber Strip or Neoprene gasket.
