Presentation

Sustainable origin feed stocks offer a pathway towards better processing

Chemicals called process additives are frequently used during tire production stages. Benefits are wide ranging, from dispersion and flow improvement, control of tack and maintenance of green strength, through to enhancement of mould flow and release. The drive towards greater sustainability, including increased usage of bio derived or recycled content feedstock suitable for rubber process additives has revealed new opportunities to maximise performance. This presentation will highlight steps taken towards increasing sustainable index within several types of process additive and will compare the performance obtained with that of established equivalent products.
