The Agilis HD Grip D tire was developed to withstand the torque of a drive position and provide excellent traction through all seasons. In some regional and on/off road applications, the Agilis HD Grip D tire can be used in all positions, especially on 4X4 vehicles. The Agilis HD Grip D tire is also retreadable. Michelin Retread Technologies has many products that fit these 19.5” casings, but popular drive tire retreads include: MD XDN2, XDS2+, XDE M/S, and XDH

Vibracoustic has designed, developed, and tested an innovative Thermal Management Decoupling System that supports and isolates the co-located thermal technologies commonly used in next-generation battery electric vehicles. Addressing a crucial challenge in the electric vehicle industry, the system optimizes the bundling of thermal components such as Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) to save space, increase efficiency, and streamline assembly. This all-in architecture can be easily carried over in other vehicles without additional engineering. The thermal management system has proven its performance and reliability through extensive testing and benchmarking and is serial production ready.

DNV’s verification objectively confirms Hempaguard’s outstanding performance when it comes to the reduction of CO2e emissions from the maritime industry. In addition, fuel savings of up to 25% and average speed loss of 1.4% have been validated by the third party.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a new class of materials called “glassy gels” that are very hard and difficult to break despite containing more than 50% liquid. Coupled with the fact that glassy gels are simple to produce, the material holds promise for a variety of applications.

Gels and glassy polymers are classes of materials that have historically been viewed as distinct from one another. Glassy polymers are hard, stiff and often brittle. They’re used to make things like water bottles or airplane windows. Gels – such as contact lenses – contain liquid and are soft and stretchy.

WACKER, the Munich-based chemical company, will be presenting a selection of silicone products for battery technology and electromobility at this year’s Battery Show Europe. The focus will be on the potting compounds ELASTOSIL® CM 181 and ELASTOSIL® CM 185. The latter is a recent development which will be premiered at the show. Both products boost battery safety in electric vehicles. They ensure the reliable operation of battery cells and prevent fire from spreading in the event of thermal runaway in a cell. Battery Show Europe will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, from June 18 to June 20.

Huntsman Corporation officially opened a new innovation center in Tienen, Belgium

The rubber mixing plant, operated by SETCO, specializes in producing solid tires and expanded rim assemblies. The facility utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to create high-quality rubber compounds. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and authorities are assessing the extent of damage to the plant. Local residents are advised to stay indoors if they experience breathing difficulties due to the chemicals released during the incident. As the situation unfolds, authorities are closely monitoring air quality and ensuring the safety of the community.

Röhm has significantly expanded its production capacity at the Wallingford plant in Connecticut (USA) in June 2024. The innovative improvement was possible by modifying and redeploying an existing production line at the Wallingford site, providing customers with faster delivery and meeting increasing demand globally.
