Smart tyres are creating a buzz in the automotive sector. LANXESS, during the Tire Technology Expo in Hanover (March 5-7, 2019) presented an extensive range of products and versatile solutions for manufacturing tyres.
These include environmentally friendly Rhenodiv release agents, Rhenomark tyre marking paints, Rhenoshape tyre vulcanisation bladders, Rhenogran aramid-fibre masterbatches, additives, accelerators and antidegradants.
LANXESS’ Rhein Chemie business unit supplies the rubber industry with a broad portfolio of pre-dispersed polymerbound additives, processing promoters, vulcanisation and filler activators, light protection waxes, release agents, tyre marking paints and high-performance curing bladders.
A new focus in this area is the production of “smart” tyres, specifically those low-noise and self-sealing tyres, which essentially requires that the release agents applied or transferred to the blank be removed entirely after vulcanisation. This ensures that the polymers, foams or sensors applied subsequently will adhere properly. Such sensors can transmit important data such as tyre pressure, temperature or tread depth, and can also pass on relevant alerts to drivers or fleet operators. This improves safety considerably and helps to prevent damage to the tyres.
