Creating durable tires that improve fuel efficiency Tire developments In today’s legislative and economic climate, in which environmental aspects are becoming more and more important, car manufacturers require three main qualities in tires: low rolling resistance (improving fuel efficiency), excellent grip (increasing safety) and low wear (extending lifetimes). In addition to these requirements, the European Union has defined mandatory standards for rolling resistance, wet grip and noise, and emission-based tolls are expected to be introduced within the next few years. At Teijin Aramid we are continually improving our aramid solutions, Twaron and Sulfron, to meet both these future requirements and the needs of tire manufacturers today. Key benefits when using our aramid • Low weight • Low rolling resistance • High thermal stability • High uniformity • Reduced fuel consumption • Improved comfort, safety and longevity

In diggers and agricultural tractors there is better punch resistance. In bicycle tires a foldable bead becomes possible, there’s enhanced protection against punctures and better cut, chip and chunk resistance. Sulfron: reducing heat generation When a vehicle is being driven, the shape of its tires gets deformed and, due to visco-elastic properties, heat is generated. Tire researchers have been trying to solve this problem for many years. Sulfron is now seen as the solution by rubber compounders and tire manufacturers. We discovered a way to reduce the frictional energy in rubber compounds...
