Higher sustainability in tyre: Adapting recipes to new raw materials

Tyre Industry is looking at raw materials with enhanced features to reach sustainability targets: their credentials are rooted in lower product carbon footprint (PCF), biogenic or circular feedstocks. We will focus on a couple of different routes to enhance sustainability in a compound: one to use the same tyre oils with a significantly reduced PCF (EVO product) and the other by the introduction of a biogenic oil, NYTEX BIO 6200. EVO is a solution without any reformulation or re-approvals and NYTEX BIO 6200 offer a 1:1 solution to conventional oils or with small adjustments in the recipe further enhance performance.
