vulcanizers
Rubber hardening specialists
Vulcanizers are workers or machines that vulcanize rubber—treating it with heat and sulfur to make it stronger, more elastic, and resistant to temperature changes.
The term most often refers to tire repair technicians, especially in regions where small roadside vulcanizing shops fix punctures and patch inner tubes: We stopped at a vulcanizer to get the flat repaired.
