Innovation
GRT has one of the industry’s most advanced technical labs
to test the physical, chemical, and component properties of materials
and finished products. It is a leader in rubber technology with
several technical “firsts” including:
- The
use of alkali reclaim process to cure rubber more efficiently
and make it easier to handle;
- The
development and patent of the Rotocure Vulcanization Process for
uniform continuous curing; and
- The
use of the Bierer-Davis Oxygen Bomb to accelerate rubber aging
tests.
