SpeedFlex™ Cushion Gum
Next-Generation Bonding Technology for High-Efficiency Retreading
SpeedFlex™ is an innovative cushion gum (bonding gum) engineered to revolutionize the tyre retreading process. Designed for retreaders who demand maximum operational efficiency without compromising on safety or quality, SpeedFlex utilizes a unique, fast-curing chemical formulation that significantly reduces processing times, cuts energy consumption, and delivers an unbreakable bond between the tyre casing and the new tread.
Key Performance Benefits
SpeedFlex is formulated to directly impact the bottom line of retreading operations by optimizing the most time-consuming step in the process: the curing cycle.
- Accelerated Curing Times:
Cushion gum and gum cord are engineered for efficiency, reducing curing times to 150 minutes from 180 minutes. - Massive Energy Savings:
Lower energy consumption in the curing process leads to 21% utility savings for operators. - Ultra-Low Temperature Curing: Engineered to cure at temperatures as low as 99°C, minimizing heat stress on the original tyre casing and preserving its structural integrity for future retreading.
- Superior Bonding Strength: Formulated for maximum tackiness and heat dispersion, ensuring a flawless, premium bond that eliminates the risk of tread separation under heavy road stress.

Advantage |
|
Ultra-Wide 800mm Format |
Allows operators the flexibility to cut the cushion gum to any preferred size on-site. This eliminates the need to stock multiple uncommon widths, drastically reducing inventory overhead. |
|
Smooth & Uniform Extrusion |
Ensures an even application across the entire casing, preventing high spots or weak points in the adhesion layer. |
|
AZ Treadmark Extruder Format |
Available in specialized extruder formats packed in double-insulated boxes to maintain absolute freshness and tackiness prior to application. |
Product Compatibility
SpeedFlex Cushion Gum is designed to work seamlessly with GIIB’s entyre ecosystem of retreading products. For example, when paired with GIIB Gum Cord—which shares the exact same proprietary SpeedFlex chemical formula, the materials trigger a natural chemical reaction during the curing process. This creates a unified, exceptionally strong bond that maximizes the durability and lifespan of the final retreaded tyre.
