Solutions for Tire Manufacturers
Tire mold coatings, bladder coatings, bladder touch-up, and more solutions for tire producers
We have provided advanced coatings and lubricating solutions to the tire industry for decades. We understand the unique and exacting requirements of tire manufacturing operations and help tire producers optimize their process with coating solutions tailored to their goals.
Our tire mold coatings are used to produce specialty agricultural, military, construction, recreational, industrial, and mining tires. We offer both semi-permanent tire mold coatings and conventional release agents for tire molds as well as bladder coatings which extend the lifespan of curing bladders used to produce a variety of on-the-road and off-the-road tires. Our rubber mold release agents and anti-tack coatings are also used in tire retreading and tire recycling operations, such as crumb rubber molding.
Tire manufacturers contact McLube® for bespoke solutions catered to their needs and backed by our commitment to on-time delivery, reliability and fast support. Bring us your challenges and goals, and we will get to work for you.

- Semi-permanent Tire Mold Coatings for the maximum number of tires per coating application.
- Conventional, high-slip Tire Mold Coatings for larger tires or tires with complex geometries offering multiple releases per application.
- Our line of tire mold release coatings includes water-based and dilutable options
Contact us for assistance with selecting the ideal tire mold coating for your needs.
Bladder Coatings
Tire bladders can suffer significant physical and chemical abrasion during the curing process which, if not prevented, can cause defects on the tire and shorten the bladder’s lifespan. Tire bladders experience the most abrasion at or near the surface of the bladder that comes into contact with the tire “bead,” the edge of the tire that will eventually fix into a groove on the wheel allowing it to inflate.
McLube® has developed a line of highly durable bladder coatings that are designed to protect the bladder against physical and chemical abrasion during the curing process to extend its effective lifespan and eliminate defects.
Bladder "Touch-up" Lubricants
McLube® also offers bladder touch-up lubricants for application overtop of our bladder coatings to add additional slip for startup on new bladders.
