Abstract
Method of constructing pneumatic tire where at least one of its elements is comprised of a heat-curable rubber composition, an improvement in which such composition is identified with a releasably attached identification tag containing an information-providing ink composition thereon, wherein the ink composition contains a heat activatable blowing agent. The invention further relates to the heat-curable rubber composition so-identified and also to the identification tag itself.
Claims3
A heat-curable rubber composition identified by a paper identification tag releasably attached to said composition, said tag having a surface area of one of its two sides in the range of about 2 to about 30, preferably about 5 to about 16 square inches (in.sup.2) and having an information-providing ink composition thereon which covers about 10 to about 50, preferably about 20 to about 40 percent of the surface area of at least one side of said tag where said ink composition contains about 5 to about 25, preferably about 8 to about 15 weight percent, based on the total ink composition, of a heat activatable blowing agent.
