Abstract

See full text

A method to reduce or eliminate pinch flashing in mold operations by applying a thin coating of a hydrocarbon wax to the outside surface of an uncured rubber article or on the sidewall or shoulder of a green tire at a location(s) where segments of the mold close on each other and on the rubber article or tire during cure. The hydrocarbon wax has a melting point from about 60 degrees to about 80 degrees Celsius, and is compatible with the composition of the rubber. The hydrocarbon wax acts as a sacrificial layer and is scraped up by the mold parts instead of the rubber when the mold segments close.
