Vipal Rubber Tire Cologne retreads

Brazilian tire retread manufacturer Vipal Rubber will introduce two new treads at Tire Cologne from May 29 to June 1.

During the four-day event, the company will launch treads VM729 and VDE2, which have received Alpine Symbol certification. Other Vipal treads like VRT3, VDA4, VT160 and VT220 will also be shown to the public.

“The Vipal product certifications in Europe is a multi-year work that has followed this market’s requirements, mainly aiming to guarantee more safety in the treads and products that respect health and the environment,” said Leandro Rigon, Vipal’s manager of international business.

VM729 is a tread designed for radial tires and drive axles. It provides uniform wear, low noise levels and excellent drive on dry and wet surfaces, and is particularly recommended for long-distance services on paved surfaces. VDE2 offers more wear resistance and is ideal for highway freight transportation. Both the VM729 and VDE2 treads are also available in the ECO version, Vipal’s eco-line, which includes several products. Among them is Vipal’s water-based paint and glue, which can help eliminate solvents and less exposure to harmful chemicals, as well as reduce the risk of fires for retreaders.

Vipal Rubber will present the new Vipal Fleets, a unique tire monitoring platform, at Tire Cologne. The platform allows the user to perform a complete diagnosis by computer or tablet in a simple and fast manner and in real time.
