A basic grasp of general compounding principals is required when beginning work as a passenger car tread compounder in the tire industry.in addition,one needs to have an in-depth familiarity with the effects that certain raw materials have on performance related physical and dynamic properties.A special knowledge of the make-up and microstructure of solution SBR's is very often required when designing tread compounds especially for "Orginal Equipment" tires.The "O.E." tread compounder may in fact be asked to make recipe changes to affect tire performance properties without the benefit of laboratory data in order to meet the strict time deadlines involved in O.E.tire submissions.
