Quality Checks
At GRL Tires, quality is paramount, and we uphold rigorous checks at our manufacturing facility to ensure that every product meets our high standards of excellence. Here are the types of quality checks we conduct post-production, in addition to our process checks of raw materials and line testing:
Rheo Check
We perform rheological checks to analyze the flow properties of the tire materials, ensuring optimal processing and performance characteristics.
Endurance Testing
Our tires undergo extensive endurance testing to simulate real-world driving conditions and evaluate their durability, strength, and performance over time.
Ozone Testing
Ozone exposure testing is conducted to assess the resistance of our tires to ozone degradation, a common factor in atmospheric conditions that can affect tire longevity and performance.
Tensile Check
Tensile testing measures the tensile strength and elasticity of our tires, providing crucial insights into their structural integrity and ability to withstand external forces.
Ozone Exposure Testing (Repeated)
We subject our tires to repeated ozone exposure testing to ensure consistent performance and durability under varying environmental conditions.
Plunger Testing
Plunger testing evaluates the resistance of our tires to punctures and penetrations, simulating potential hazards encountered on the road to ensure optimal safety and reliability.
SOC (Specific Operations Check)
SOC involves specific operational checks tailored to our manufacturing processes, ensuring compliance with quality standards and identifying any deviations or abnormalities.
SEC (Standardized Efficiency Check)
SEC is a standardized efficiency check that measures the efficiency and effectiveness of our manufacturing processes, identifying areas for improvement and optimization.
