Presentation

Safe and sustainable bonding systems for the tire industry

Industrial adhesive resins contain petro-sourced compounds, some of which, classified as SVHC*, require strict precautions to avoid any danger to human health (e.g. formaldehyde, resorcinol, isocyanates). ResiCare, a Michelin Group entity, develops and markets high-performance bonding systems for textile dipped fabrics in tires, free of formaldehyde and resorcinol. ResiCare's ambition is to open up this innovative technology towards biosourcing and to the whole tire industry. Paving the way for perennial chemistry and safer products for health and the environment. RFL is not a “must” anymore in the Tire Industry. Credible alternatives exist, are deployed, and are available for Tire Manufacturers to use it now. * "Substance of Very High Concern" as defined by the REACH regulation.
