RETREADED Meaning and
Definition
-
Retreaded is an adjective that refers to the process of reconditioning or renewing an old or worn-out item, typically a tire. When an item, particularly a tire, is retreaded, it undergoes a process that involves restoring its original tread pattern, which is the grooved design on the surface of the tire that provides traction and grip.
The process of retreading involves removing the worn-out tread from the tire and applying a new layer of rubber compound to the existing tire carcass. This new layer is then buffed and precision-cut to create the desired tread pattern, matching the original design. The newly applied tread is then vulcanized or bonded to the tire using heat and pressure, resulting in a secure and durable connection.
Retreading is a common practice in the tire industry, primarily used in heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, and airplane landing gears. It offers various advantages, including cost-effectiveness, as retreaded tires are generally less expensive than brand new tires. It also promotes sustainability by extending the life of tires and reducing waste.
In a figurative sense, retreaded can also be used to describe a person or an idea that has been refreshed or reinvigorated. It implies that the individual or concept has been given a new lease of life or a fresh perspective after undergoing a process of renewal or refurbishment.
Common Misspellings for RETREADED
Etymology of RETREADED
The term "retreaded" is derived from the word "retread", which originated in the early 20th century. It comes from the process of "re-treading" or giving a new tread pattern to a worn-out or bald tire by adding a new layer of rubber on the tire's surface. The idea is similar to "renewing" or "re-grooving" the tire to provide better traction and extend its lifespan. Therefore, "retreaded" refers to the action or state of a tire being repaired or renovated through reapplication of tread.
