METHOD FOR MAKING PNEUMATIC TIRE WITH FOAM NOISE DAMPER

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for making a tire having a foam noise damper, comprising the steps of: pressing a barrier layer onto an exposed virgin surface of a green tire innerliner to adhere the barrier layer to the virgin surface and thereby form a protected green innerliner; exposing the protected green innerliner to the release agent; curing the protected green innerliner; removing the barrier layer to reveal the virgin surface substantially free of the release agent; applying a foamable liquid to the virgin surface; and foaming the foamable liquid to form a foam noise damper secured to the virgin surface.
