CAP STRIP SYSTEM
The Steelastic® tire Cap Strip System features our specialized "E" Die extrusion technique in the production of the premium quality Cap Strip (Jointless Belt or Spiral Overlay) for vehicle tires. The Steelastic® process provides multiple, continuous, reinforced strips from a single extrusion die head and reverse winds the strips on individual spools sized to fit your tire building equipment. The Steelastic® process assures your cap strip has full rubber penetration (no calendaring) and fully covered strip edges (no slitting) and can be wound at a very low tension levels, reducing sticking in the spools. Substantial costs due to less material handling, and no dependency on calendar scheduling. In addition, the quality of the extruded strip is consistent and not dependent on operator set-up as is the case with calendaring and slitting.
