vulcanizer

Rubber curing specialist

A vulcanizer is a person or device that vulcanizes rubber—treating it with heat and sulfur to make it stronger, more elastic, and resistant to temperature changes.

The term often refers specifically to someone who repairs tires: The vulcanizer patched the puncture while we waited.

In some regions, vulcanizer shops are common roadside businesses.
