Make your OTR tires last longer Today’s expanding OTR market With the mining industry booming, soaring demand for food, and construction projects breaking ground all over the developing world, the demand for strong, retreadable Off-the-road tires (OTR) is greater than ever. In fact, the makers of OTR tires can hardly keep up – which is leading to serious shortages. OTR tires are essential equipment in industries such as mining, construction, forestry, and agriculture. A great many operations depend on them, and delays due to defective tires represent a major loss of revenue. As a result, companies are always on the look-out for tougher, longer-lasting OTR tires. Teijin Aramid’s high performance aramid fiber Twaron is helping to address these issues, and meet the industry’s specific requirements. Key benefits of using Twaron • Less reinforcing material needed • mproved puncture resistance I • aving on natural rubber S • ess heat build-up L • ighter weight L • o corrosion N

Twaron: reinforcing and protecting tires Major tire producers are increasingly using Twaron para-aramid in their customized and high-added-value applications. Twaron’s superior strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for reinforcing and protecting high-performance passenger car tires, motorcycle tires, aircraft tires, bicycle tires – and, of course, OTR tires. High strength, high modulus, low weight The comparison between the different reinforcing materials based on mass can be seen below. 2000 Tenacity (mN/tex) The belt of agricultural radials typically feature up to six layers of PA 6.6...
