FINDLAY, Ohio (Aug. 28, 2006) — Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. and its subsidiary Oliver Rubber Co. have introduced a retread casing technology called VDi Plus, which acts as visual depth indicator and stone ejector.
This technology appears in several of Oliver's recently introduced precure tread designs, including the ULP-Drive and the ULP-Rib.
Oliver said VDi Plus represents the next step of innovations by reducing foreign material retention in treads, which can penetrate casings.
