What are the new tire rubber technologies and products currently available?

At present, a series of new technologies and products have emerged in the tire rubber industry, which not only improve the performance of tires, but also promote the greening and sustainability of tire production. Here is an overview of some new tire rubber technologies and products:

1、 New type of tire rubber material

Application of agricultural waste and recycled materials:

The Conti GreenConcept concept tire launched by Continental Group in Germany uses silica from agricultural waste, polyester from recycled PET, and other renewable and recyclable materials. This type of tire has a sustainable material ratio of up to 65%, excellent performance, and high safety.

Dongyang Tire also uses a large amount of sustainable materials in its concept tires, such as biomass derived butadiene rubber, biomass derived styrene butadiene rubber, rice husk ash silica, etc., which account for about 60% of the total materials.

New generation solution polymerized styrene butadiene formula:

The new generation solution polymerized styrene butadiene formula used by Eagle Tire, combined with the application of new materials, greatly reduces tire rolling resistance and improves vehicle range.

2、 High performance tire rubber technology

Self repair technology:

CORESEAL tire technology applies special material sealant on the inner wall of the tire. When the tire is punctured by foreign objects, the sealant will adhere to the nail and fill the puncture hole to prevent tire leakage. This technology improves the safety performance of tires.

The SEALIN self repair technology of Linglong Tire is based on a similar principle, which can quickly self repair when the tire is damaged, ensuring driving safety.

Noise reduction technology:

The Magis VICTRA SPORT EV passenger tire from Zhengxin Rubber adopts a closed shoulder design and sound-absorbing cotton noise reduction technology, effectively reducing driving noise.

Wanli Tire's third-generation e-Silent tire noise reduction technology also comes standard with silent cotton, providing users with the ultimate ultra quiet experience.

Energy saving technology:

By optimizing tire design and material formulation, many new products have achieved lower rolling resistance and higher energy efficiency. For example, the rolling resistance of Magis VICTRA SPORT EV tires has been optimized by 20%, making the tires more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

The EV01 new energy high-end tire from Eagle Tire also adopts an ultra-low rolling resistance formula, which enhances the vehicle's range.

3、 Green tire products

High proportion sustainable material tires:

As mentioned earlier, both Continental's Conti GreenConcept concept tires and Toyo's concept tires use a high proportion of sustainable materials, which are not only environmentally friendly but also have excellent performance.

New energy specific tires:

With the popularity of new energy vehicles, many tire manufacturers have launched new energy specific tires. These tires have been optimized in terms of energy efficiency, quietness, and handling to meet the special needs of new energy vehicles. For example, the SPORT MASTER e high-performance new energy tire and the VICTRA SPORT EV passenger tire from Linglong Tire are representatives of new energy specific tires.

Ultra high performance tires:

Some tire manufacturers have also launched ultra-high performance tires that perform well in terms of grip, handling, and stability. For example, Jia'an Tire's Beyond series PS16 sport high-end flagship tire adopts a new generation of gas deficient, silent cotton tire and self sealing tire technology. Based on 3S high silicon grip formula technology, ultra-high content silicon is implanted in the tire, which not only enhances the hydrophilicity of the tire, but also effectively increases the adhesion between the rubber and the ground, thereby improving the wet and dry grip of the tire.

In summary, the tire rubber industry is constantly emerging with new technologies and products, which not only improve the performance and safety of tires, but also promote the greening and sustainability of tire production. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and changes in the market, the tire rubber industry will usher in more innovation and transformation.
