  • What is a tire softener?
  • Most common softeners are oils, fatty acids or mixtures of both. In recent years, tire companies tried to replace synthetic oil with natural oil with some level of success. Sulfur and zinc oxide are crucial ingredients to transform rubber into a tire during vulcanization or tire curing.
  • Where do tire components come from?
  • The majority resides inside the tread compound to deliver all the requirements expected from a tire tread. While other tire components deliver some of the overall tire performances, the majority comes from the tread area and in the specific tread compound. This shouldn’t be a surprise as the tread is the only part of the tire connected to the road.
  • Should you use a tire softener during a race?
  • Jerry had several race teams looking for a racing tire softener that would not give up on them during the race. He found out that when using a tire softener, you are deteriorating the rubber by using the strong solvents in the softener, which means you are leaving good rubber on the track but not on the tire.
  • What polymers are used in tire manufacturing?
  • The two main synthetic rubber polymers used in tire manufacturing are butadiene rubber (BR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). These polymers are used in combination with natural rubber.
  • What is an antiozonant in a car tire?
  • Antioxidants, along with antiozonants and curing systems, make up about 14% of a car tire. Antioxidants are needed to prevent rubber from breaking down. It also protects tires from environmental factors, such as exposure to different temperatures and oxygen. An antiozonant is an organic compound that prevents or retards ozone damage.
  • Why is silica used in tires?
  • With all of the advantages around silica, it has a complex manufacturing process and a poor performance on the transmission of electricity. For tires with silica content over 50 parts (most UHP tires), the tread base will extend across the tire’s surface to maintain the transmission of electricity from the vehicle to the road.
