Is Mold on Car Tires a Serious Issue?

[DeValeria]

Tires affected by mold may exhibit surface cracking, stickiness, hardening, softening, powdering, discoloration, and mold growth, which can compromise their appearance. Additionally, mold on tires produces Penicillium and Streptomyces bacteria, whose invasion accelerates tire aging, increasing the risk of blowouts and potentially leading to traffic accidents that endanger lives. Below are the causes of tire mold and preventive measures: Causes of Tire Mold: The primary components of tires include rubber, carbon black, steel wires, zinc sulfur oxide, and desulfurization agents, among others. Among these, rubber, as the main constituent in tire manufacturing, is the key factor leading to tire mold. Measures to Remove Tire Mold: If mold has already appeared on tires and is affecting warehouse walls and shelves, evenly spray AEM5700B (a small amount in other passageways) from the ground up to a height of 3 meters. After spraying, close doors and windows for at least 12 hours. For stubborn, localized mold stains that cannot be cleaned, use a cotton cloth dipped in AEM5700B to wipe them clean.
