Abstract
A method of inflation able to prevent peeling of an inner layer in a process of molding accompanied with inflation and deformation, in particular, a method of molding a hollow composite by giving deformation toward an inner surface of at least one composite member so as to cause it to laminate with another composite member, comprising giving the deformation and performing the molding by a pressurizing and heating medium.
Claims6
A method of forming a green tire, in which said method comprises forming a hollow composite comprising an inner layer composed of a thermoplastic resin or a blend of thermoplastic resin and an elastomer laminated to an inner surface of a carcass, with or without adhesive, and then shaping the hollow composite using a pressurizing and heating medium at a temperature of 40-150° C. and a pressure of 5-600 Kpa, to form the green tire.
