The tire industry has found that electron beam cross-linking of rubber sheets used in the tire-making process improves the manufacturability of tires by adjusting the tack and allowing other improvements which reduce total manufacturing costs.
Automobile tire tread sections are irradiated to obtain partial cross-linking before the tire is assembled. This stabilizes their thickness during the final thermal curing process. It also prevents the steel belt from migrating through its supporting rubber layer. The result is a higher quality tire with more uniform thickness and better balance. This allows the tire to be made thinner to save material and reduce cost. A thinner tire also generates less frictional heating on the road.
