Details about the “Truck Tires at 10” educational sessions taking place at the Nov. 1-5 Tire Industry Association (TIA) Global Tire Expo in Las Vegas are now available. The event coincides with the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.
Truck Tires at 10
Wednesday, Nov. 3. Bead Lubricants and Chamber Fires: Commercial tire service and retreading have basically operated independent of each other for years, but the problem of chamber fires has been linked to certain bead lubricants and release agents.
Besides the possible link to chamber fires, the use of these compounds also poses an occupational health risk to employees. This seminar will address the risks of using flammable bead lubricants and introduce extensive research on a new bead lubricant and release agent that is petroleum-free and non-flammable.
Thursday, Nov. 4. TMC Radial Tire & Disc Wheel Service Manual: Last year, the Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) released the TMC Radial Tire & Disc Wheel Service Manual, a project that took years to complete and is the work of the TMC’s S.2 Tire and Wheel Study Group.
This seminar will outline the information contained in the TMC Radial Tire & Disc Wheel Service Manual and demonstrate how it can be used as a reference in the field.
