Read moreGlobal emissions of greenhouse gases from trucks and passenger cars are influenced by the deformation energy and friction losses of tires. It is mostly associated with the rolling resistance between the tire tread and the road surface. For this reason, the rolling resistance is considered one of the most important performance indicators (that is, targeted to be reduced) within the tire industry.

Read moreCustom rubber mixers are listed, along with plant locations, equipment, mixing capabilities and whether technical service and/or recipe development are offered. A directory of companies that offer various custom services to the rubber industry follows.
Read moreMany methods exist to predict low temperature performance of
elastomers, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg) from
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical
analysis (DMA), as well as lot temperature regraction, Gehman
torsional and compression set tests.

Read moreThe Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd., announced that it has begun production and sales of HLC (high load capacity) tires to meet the needs of heavy duty passenger cars such as EVs and hybrid cars with high capacity batteries, as well as large SUVs. Having been developed as the original equipment (OE) on new cars and for their repairs, Yokohama Rubber will also develop products for the replacement market in line with market needs.
Read moreThe structure of the P ZERO Race TLR features a tire tread made with the SmartEVO formulation, a cutting-edge compound of polymers created to offer an excellent grip and low rolling resistance. The tire is different in the inside compared to its predecessor: here the use of the new SPEEDCORE technology offers low rolling resistance and great protection from punctures, thus reinforcing the casing – without making it stiff – through the use of aramid fibers. Aramid in fact has chemical-physical features that allow for high resistance to traction, cuts and heat, thus favoring the mechanical properties of the tire itself.
Read moreuPont starts its two-day exhibition at the 2023 EBC Biopharma Conference (booth: D017), introducing a series of high-quality products for value chain users in the biopharmaceutical industry. The showcase includes new China-made silicone tubing enabling local material supply and meeting growing local demand. DuPont Healthcare also announces the new Chinese brand name for Liveo™ Healthcare Solutions at the exhibition for the first time.
