Tyre Industry Compression moulding is the most common moulding technique used in the rubber industry. It involves pressing uncured rubber between heated moulds so that the rubber compound first fills the mould cavity before curing to produce finished article. The presses are usually pneumatically or hydraulically powered and the mould can be heated by steam. UKL delivers steam valves and other accessories used in the rubber industry.

- Polymerization, a process in which relatively small molecules, called monomers, combine chemically to produce a very large chainlike or network molecule, called a polymer.
- The composition of latex sap consists of 30-40% rubber particles, 55-65% water, and small amounts of protein, sterol glycosides, resins, ash, and sugars. Rubber has high elasticity and a polymer molecular structure. This structure consists of a long chain made up of tens of thousands of smaller units, called monomers, strung together.
- Extrusion involves forcing uncured rubber through a die under pressure to form a shaped profile or sheet. Rotating knives (or die face cutters) can then convert extruded material into pellets or slugs for further processing.
- A calender is a machine with a number of horizontal rolls (sometimes called bowls), heated or unheated, through which material is passed under pressure. They can create either a rubber sheet of a required thickness, or apply a thin layer of rubber onto a cloth liner.
- Cloth coating involves the impregnation of cloth, mostly synthetic rather than cotton, with a rubber solution to produce a waterproof or chemically resistant fabric for use in waterproof clothing, tarpaulins, sails, dinghy fabrics etc.
- Compression moulding is the most common moulding technique used in the rubber industry. It involves pressing uncured rubber between heated moulds so that the rubber compound first fills the mould cavity before curing to produce the finished article. The presses are usually hydraulically or pneumatically powered and the moulds can be heated electrically, by steam, or by oil.
- A boiler is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water.
- A tank which receives condensate return from the steam system and make up water as required in a plant. Boiler feed water is an essential part of boiler operations.
