New Lug Tread Profile Released — RL-260 Series
We have introduced the RL-260, a next-generation off-road lug tread formulated for mining and heavy plant vehicles. The profile features an enhanced compound system to improve tread life in high-abrasion environments.
Sun Rubber Industry Sdn. Bhd. has released the RL-260, a new-generation off-road lug tread profile developed for mining, earthmoving, and heavy plant vehicle applications. The RL-260 is the successor to the RL-242 and incorporates an updated compound system designed to deliver improved abrasion resistance and extended tread life in demanding terrain.
The RL-260 compound utilises an optimised SMR/carbon black system with enhanced filler dispersion, resulting in a higher DIN abrasion resistance index compared to the previous generation. The lug geometry has also been revised to provide better self-cleaning characteristics in soft ground and clay-heavy environments.
The new profile is available in a range of section widths suitable for commercial truck and mining vehicle fitment. It is compatible with standard cold-process retreading equipment and certified for use with Sun Rubber's Standard Cushion Gum bonding compound.
Samples and technical data sheets are available upon request. Customers currently sourcing the RL-242 are encouraged to contact our technical team to discuss a transition to the RL-260 and evaluate any compound compatibility requirements.
