Hot vulcanising vs cold bonding for pulley lagging application – what are
the differences?
Introduction Lagging application type differences Adhesion strength 3 Common causes of failure
Introduction
Cold bonded lagging has been used for more than fty years largely, as a result of its ease and convenience of application. While hot vulcanized rubber lagging has also been used for many
years, hot vulcanized ceramic lagging and polyurethane lagging are more recent additions.
Lagging selection is one of the four pillars required for engineered lagging to perform.
This technical bulletin provides details on the differences between hot vulcanized lagging and The main advantage of cold bonded lagging is that it can be done both in the eld (i.e. on the
cold bonded lagging, and how these differences impact the end use performance. conveyor) or in a workshop and, requires no specialized equipment.
Cold bonded lagging as the name suggests is a lagging application Hot vulcanized lagging application involves curing the lagging at elevated temperature,
typically 140-160°C for 3-6 hours. This necessitate the use specialized equipment called an
system that is done at room temperature. Normally this means autoclave (PHOTO #1) and can only be done in factory setting. Hot vulcanized lagging cannot

temperatures fall outside this range the applicators would normally
take steps to adjust the work area temperature to fall within this
range.

The main advantage of hot vulcanized lagging is that the process is much more robust than cold bonding, and as a result the adhesion of the lagging to the pulley is much stronger,
