'Total' solutions of new generation synthetic rubbers for EV tires

To meet the growing demand for EVs and sustainable tires, TSRC, a leader in polymer design, is advancing research on high-performance synthetic rubber materials. Our advanced G4 & G5 functionalization technologies, paired with optimized microstructural control in SSBR and BRs (both low and high cis contents), enhance filler dispersibility and improve the 'magic triangle' performance by over 20% in high silica formulations—ideal for EV tires. These comprehensive innovations boost tire performance while reducing carbon emissions, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
