There’s a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to rubber tracks — from claims of “Made in the USA” to promises of “100% virgin rubber.” Let’s set the record straight with facts every equipment owner, dealer, and mechanic should know.
Myth #1: Some Rubber Tracks Are Made in the USA
They’re not.
Currently, no rubber tracks are manufactured in the United States — the EPA does not allow the industrial processes required for rubber vulcanization and carbon black treatment.
If a company says their tracks are made in the USA, ask them to show you their manufacturing facility, not just a warehouse. You won’t find one.
Myth #2: 100% Virgin Rubber Tracks Exist
This is another false claim.
Any company advertising “100% virgin rubber” tracks is either misinformed or misleading you. Rubber tracks and tires must include carbon black and silica — essential reinforcing agents that give them the strength and flexibility to handle real-world abuse.
Without these, tracks would crack, shred, or delaminate fast. Be cautious of anyone pushing “pure virgin rubber.” It’s marketing spin — not engineering truth.
