LANXESS will be underlining its status as a premium supplier of high-performance rubber to the tire industry at its first-ever Rubber Days in Japan and South Korea this week. The world’s largest synthetic rubber company is a key supplier of Nd-PBR and SSBR rubbers to leading tire manufacturers from both countries. Both products are essential in the production of ‘Green Tires’ that are more fuel efficient, safer and durable than standard tires.
Two presentations given by experts from synthetic rubber pioneer LANXESS highlight the potential of collaboration between rubber producers and automakers and how tire production can be made more cost-efficient through the use of improved rubber formulations. The speeches form part of the 7th international Intelligent Tire Technology conference taking place in Darmstadt, Germany, in September 2011.
