In addition, two ARLANXEO experts will hold presentations at the conference highlighting advancements in the material science sector.
David Hardy, Technical Service and Development Manager at ARLANXEO, will present test results of two functionalised SSBR grades – Buna FX 5000 and Buna FX 3234A-2 – that have been run in comparison to standard SSBR grades Buna VSL 3038-2HM and VSL 2438-2HM. Hardy will also discuss these actual tyre test results with those obtained by usual laboratory testing predictors.
ARLANXEO’s Technical Manager Dr Kilian Wüst will also be presenting on recent developments for functionalised butadiene rubbers and their effects on critical tyre properties.
Charles Page, Vice President Global Marketing and Sales, said: “Given the significant changes the automotive sector is currently facing, innovation is key in our business to support high-performance tyre requirements both today and tomorrow. Our latest trials show that our functionalised rubber solutions can support the production of tyres with improved performance and rolling resistance, ultimately leading to reduced fuel consumption and environmental impact.”
ARLANXEO’s high-tech rubber solutions offer dynamic properties, strong permeability resistance, resilience and grip, reduced rolling resistance and high durability, ensuring the highest performance while decreasing fuel consumption and emissions.
ARLANXEO’s tyre and specialty rubbers are marketed under two brands: X Butyl, which stands for premium butyl rubber products, and Buna, which stands for a multilateral range of modern butadiene rubber products.
