Naugard Bio-XL bio-sourced rubber curing ultra-accelerator for tire and technical rubber goods applications

Some products offered to the tire industry involve replacing existing technology with a renewable source-derived substitute. Tire companies themselves are also innovating new sustainable tire materials, such as the new sources of latex rubber under development by Continental and Bridgestone. Replacing reactive products, such as antioxidants, antiozonants and accelerators, may be considered more challenging, as this task involves inventing a new molecule versus replicating an existing structure with a renewable raw material source. The vulcanization process is a particularly challenging area for creating sustainable alternatives, since the reactivity of this chemical system is critical both to the manufacturing needs and to the performance of the rubber system.

Birla Carbon to build new carbon black facilities in India and Thailand

Each of the new facilities will have an initial capacity of 120 kMT operational in 2025 with plans to expand to 240 kMT in the future. These two new greenfield sites will be prioritized based on their locations, demand dynamics in the region, and specific customer needs. Previously announced brownfield expansion plans in Hungary, as well as, the post treatment facility expanding Specialty capacity at Patalganga, India, are progressing on plan.

Scientists observe the molecular motion of rubber components in tires

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Tokyo, Ibaraki University, and European XFEL has now observed the molecular motion within samples of polybutadiene and carbon black, which occurs naturally as a result of the material structure, with a time resolution of 890 nanoseconds (billionths of a second)—the fastest resolution obtained in such studies so far—at the European XFEL’s SPB/SFX instrument.

Influence of functionalized terpolymer resin on carbon black reinforced rubber compounds

Influence of functionalized terpolymer resin on carbon black reinforced rubber compounds and corelation with tire performance In recent years, the European Union (EU) has mandated reducing greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO2). Passenger cars are responsible for roughly 13% of the total CO2 emission in the E.U. From 2021, the CO2 emissions of new passenger cars must be reduced by 27% compared to 2015.
