Radial Tires

Cobalt adhesion promoters have gained considerable acceptance in the rubber industry during the past two decades and are considered the most important tool for the promotion of adhesion between the rubber compound and the brass-plated steel cord in the manufacture of steel-cord-reinforced radial tires.

Cobalt compounds are widely used in rubber industry especially in the radial tire industry to promote adhesion between the rubber wire coat compound and the brass-coated steel belt.

Shepherd Widnes produces cobalt products that are used by producers of Radial Tires or producers of Rubber Adhesion promoters for the tire industry. Cobalt chloride and hydroxide are the starting raw materials for the production of Cobalt adhesion promoters.
