1943 RECAPPING AUTO
TIRES
The Thursday, August 26,
1943, Wilminhton Morning News , gave thr report of the OPA
in Washington, D.C.
authorizing the use of higher grade “C' camel back for
the
recapping of civilian
passenger car tires.
This action will permit
any motorist to have his tires recapped without a rationing
certificate with the higher
grade synthetic camel back.
Heretofore, civilian
motorest were limited to grade “F” reclaimed rubber for
recaps.
Today, this newspaper
article is somewhat 'not all of that interseting”, but, during
the
WW II, recapped tires is
what kept American's 'on the road'.
Folowing are some facts
about camel back synthetic rubber.
Camelback is made up of
natural or synthetic, carbon black from burning a petroleum
product, waxes and
oils.
Retreading is a process
to estend the life of a tire and can be done by two methods ,
pe-cure and multi-cure.
