Specialty Rubber Products &
Functional Tire Additives

As the world's largest supplier of rubber additives we offer individual and innovative product solutions: rubber chemicals, specialty chemicals and processing aids for the rubber industry. With LANXESS solutions, high-performance rubber products such as tires, treads, seals or drive belts are produced.

A durable car tire is the result of a complex manufacturing process in which the tire is built-up from various rubber compounds and reinforcing materials. By using rubber chemicals and various fillers, the raw material rubber is turned into a high-performance product. This is because rubber is soft and not very durable until vulcanization. By selecting the type of rubber, the crosslinking chemicals and additives required for the desired technical properties of the end product, high-performance products such as tires, hoses, gaskets, profiles and other rubber products are created.
