About retreaded tyres; other than of a kind used on motor cars (including station wagons and racing cars), buses and lorries and aircraft

HS code 401219 covers the retreading of tyres, a crucial process in the tyre industry. Retreading involves refurbishing used tyres by replacing the worn tread with a new one, extending the lifespan of the tyre and reducing waste. This industry plays a vital role in the broader transportation and logistics sectors, providing cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solutions for commercial and industrial vehicles.

Production process

The retreading process typically involves several key steps. First, the used tyre is thoroughly inspected and the old tread is removed. The tyre casing is then repaired and prepared for the new tread. Next, a new tread is applied using specialized equipment and bonding agents. Finally, the retreaded tyre undergoes curing and finishing processes to ensure a secure and durable bond between the new tread and the tyre casing.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the retreading industry include used tyre casings, raw rubber compounds, bonding agents, and specialized machinery. The availability and quality of used tyres are crucial, as they form the foundation for the retreading process. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing techniques and equipment to ensure a consistent and high-quality product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the retreading industry is, of course, retreaded tyres. These tyres are then consumed by a variety of industries, including 853120 Commercial vehicles, 841229 Industrial machinery, and 880240 Aircraft. The retreaded tyres provide a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to purchasing new tyres, making them an attractive option for businesses and industries that rely on heavy-duty vehicles and equipment.
