Abstract

The inner tire significantly determines the effectiveness and efficiency of a commercial transportation vehicle. The inner tire is expected to have high durability against friction with the outer tire and a high tensile strength to prevent it from bursting under heavy loads. To address this issue, the process of adding natural rubber material to the inner tire is carried out using the pressure method with two variables. Firstly, a single layer of inner tire and a single layer of natural rubber are attached to the outer side of the inner tire. Secondly, the inner tire is sandwiched between two layers of natural rubber placed on the outer and inner sides of the inner tire. Then, a pressure process is applied, followed by FTIR, tensile brake, hardness, and adhesion testing, aimed at obtaining data to understand the impact of adding natural rubber to the inner tire using the pressure method. This data serves as a reference for inner tire production to improve product quality. After conducting the research process, the FTIR testing revealed the presence of several constituent materials in the inner tire component, including natural rubber, IIR, and BIIR. For the tensile brake test, the obtained strength values were 20.4 Kgf for specimen one, 23.8 Kgf for specimen two, and 31.05 Kgf for specimen three. Furthermore, the hardness test yielded results of 52° for specimen one, 48° for specimen two, and 44° for specimen three. In the adhesion testing, the adhesion strength was found to be 2.5 Kgf for specimen one, 3.7 Kgf for specimen two, 1.8 Kgf for specimen 3.1, and 3.1 Kgf for specimen 3.2. These findings provide valuable insights into the effects of adding natural rubber to the inner tire using the pressure method and can serve as a reference for improving inner tire quality.
