Eco-friendly tyre made from sustainable and recycled materials
Spotted: German multinational automotive parts manufacturing company, Continental, has designed an eco-friendly tyre made from sustainable materials, including natural rubber made from dandelions, silicate from the ash of rice husks, and vegetable oils and resins.
- What are green tyres?
- Tyres from green technology are under continuous research for optimizing the formulation using partial or complete replacement of raw materials including synthetic rubber, reinforcing carbon black and fibres, and other compounding ingredients.
- What is a 100% sustainable tire?
- Sci. Technol.2023, 57, 6, 2209–2216 The development of a 100% sustainable tire has emerged as a milestone for several tire companies across the globe. It has created new commercial opportunities for the biobased, renewable, and recycled polymer materials.
- Can green tyres reduce rolling resistance?
- Earlier, the induction of steel cords and radial ply tyres were revolutionary innovations to reduce the rolling resistance. Down the lane, researchers had been working to develop green technologies in tyre manufacturing to obtain a balance between rolling resistance and road grip.
- Is ENR suitable for green tyres?
- ENR is added to the blend compatibilizer and as an end result superior abrasion resistance, crosslink density and mechanical properties were reported. They offered excellent wet grip as well as low rolling resistance characteristics which makes them a suitable candidate for green tyre applications .
- What is eco-friendly tire tread rubber?
- Eco-friendly tire tread rubber composition with improved dispersibility that replaces some of the silica with a hydrophobic rice bran silica prepared by mixing rice bran silica with a liquid unsaturated fatty acid. This improves dispersion of the filler in the rubber matrix compared to using rice bran silica alone.
- Are green tires the future of the tire industry?
- Development of green tires and green processing technologies using sustainable materials is an important development direction for the future of the tire industry, and many tire‐manufacturing companies have proposed their visions for the development of eco‐friendly tires.
