Vipal Rubber’s new VT570 was designed to favour torque distribution, maximise mileage performance, and resist breakage.
New Retread Product
Vipal Rubber stands out for offering innovative products with superior quality to different markets where it operates. Following this principle, the company presents its new tread: VT570. Designed to meet specific needs from the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) market, it counts with rotational direction, offering better traction power in the mixed segment (on/off-road). This application is ideal for vehicles that operate in varied terrains, including paved and non-paved streets and roads. For example, it can be used in transportation for civil construction, garbage collection, and agricultural activities.
One of its main characteristics is blocks designed to promote torque distribution and maximise mileage performance. The compound was specially developed to offer greater resistance to cutting and chipping, balancing this feature with greater durability and useful life.
The new design integrated into Vipal’s tyre retreading tread portfolio was born from a specific demand from the Caucasus market. However, Gilson Dugno, International Sales Manager for Vipal Rubber, explains that an internal survey conducted among the main European clients indicated an interest in having the VT570. “It fits well into our current portfolio of designs for application in our market,” says Dugno.
The product is available in three widths (240, 250, and 260 mm), catering to most tyre dimensions used in these operations. The new tread also has grooves designed to provide self-cleaning and a centre designed with reinforcements that increase the casing’s protection against damage.
