Gumírozó

Gumírozó is a Hungarian term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily involving the application of rubber or a rubber-like substance to a surface. In a manufacturing context, it describes the process of coating or impregnating materials with rubber. This is often done to enhance properties such as water resistance, durability, or elasticity. For example, textiles might be gumírozott to make them waterproof, or metal parts might be coated to provide a protective and shock-absorbing layer.

The term can also be used more specifically in the context of tire manufacturing or repair. A gumírozó can be the person or machine that performs the vulcanization or "gumming" of tires. This involves applying a layer of uncured rubber to the surface of a tire, often for patching or retreading. The process then typically involves heat and pressure to cure the rubber, bonding it to the tire and restoring its integrity. In some older or more colloquial uses, it might simply refer to the act of applying rubber cement or adhesive, particularly in crafting or simple repair tasks. The underlying principle is always the use of a rubber material for adhesion, protection, or modification of a substrate.
