Product catalog summary
Introduction
Sulfron is a modified aramid-based rubber ingredient designed to enhance the performance of tires by reducing hysteresis, improving anti-puncture and abrasion resistance, and lowering rolling resistance. This results in more durable tires that consume less fuel without compromising performance, aligning with upcoming European Union standards for rolling resistance, wet grip, and noise.
Key Benefits
  • Reduced frictional energy and hysteresis
  • Lower heat build-up and rolling resistance
  • Improved cut, chip, and chunk resistance
  • Enhanced durability
Main Advantages
  • Up to 25% reduction in rolling resistance
  • Significant improvement in heat build-up and blowout times
  • Improved mileage
Compounding Information
For optimal interaction between Sulfron and carbon black fillers, Sulfron should be added with or just after the fillers during the first stage of mixing at 150-165 ºC for at least 1½ minutes.
Eco-efficiency
Sulfron 3001 enhances tread lifespan and reduces fuel consumption, offering significant environmental and economic benefits. The life cycle savings are 100 times the cost of Sulfron, with a positive environmental impact 70 times greater than the impact of its application.
Improving Hysteresis
Sulfron, based on modified granules of Twaron, improves rubber compound hysteresis, leading to lower rolling resistance and fuel savings while maintaining performance.
Sulfron 3001 Applications
  • Truck and bus tires
  • Off-road vehicles and agricultural tractors
  • Tread (base and cap) for reduced rolling resistance
  • Aircraft tires
  • Belt skim on top of steel cord
  • Motorcycle and bicycle tires

Catalog excerpts

Sulfron in tires-1

Durable eco-friendly tires Supporting tire manufacturers Sulfron is a modified aramid-based rubber ingredient that is highly suitable for reducing the hysteresis of tires. It also improves anti-puncture and abrasion resistance. Tires made with Sulfron are more durable, last longer, and have lower rolling resistance, thus reducing fuel consumption without compromising on performance. These requirements are increasingly important given that the European Union has pledged to introduce mandatory standards for rolling resistance, wet grip and noise, as well as emission-based tolls within the next few years. At Teijin Aramid we’re continually developing advanced solutions that will meet both today’s and tomorrow’s needs. Key benefits when using Sulfron • Reduced frictional energy • Reduced hysteresis • Reduced heat build-up • Reduced rolling resistance • Improved cut, chip and chunk resistance • Improved durability
