Radial tire technology innovation must be self -

China's radial tire production technology and equipment are imported from abroad, the tire industry over the years to enhance and improve the digestion and absorption of many new products have reached the international advanced level. However, Beijing Rubber Industry Research and Design Institute Professor Chen Zhihong of the view that independent tire industry technology innovation is still not enough, the majority of new product development remains with large companies abroad after running their own lack of innovative products and technologies.

At present, some of the tire companies have developed a number of international advanced products. If the number of domestic enterprises - Shanghai Tire & Rubber (Group) Co. Ltd., the Group Triangle, Chengshan, and other groups have developed a metric radial load, output last year reached more than 170 million. Developed by the last round of all-steel radial light truck, all-steel radial tire project, and so on, are not the introduction of technology. In the car radial tire in southern China's most prominent, have been able to produce 35 series Z-class (270 km / h and above), and a large number of export markets in North America and Europe. In addition, the Shanghai Tianyi Tire Co., Ltd. was developed after the piercing is not flat tire safety, but also with independent intellectual property rights of technology.

Professor Chen Zhihong believe that the independent innovation of China's tire less technical, tires and old-fashioned business concepts related to the introduction of foreign technology do not want to change easily, and prefer unreasonable places copy; many companies are busy expanding the scale of production efforts on their own Not enough emphasis on development. In addition, business-to-tire of the sensitivity of the lack of innovative technology, such as by the personal development of our proprietary technology products bionic tire tread in the water slide and low rolling resistance, security and so on are more prominent feature has been more than 10 The national patent and passed the appraisal of the former Ministry of Chemical Industry, but over the years in the domestic industry has not attracted enough attention to, until the patent has been buying companies abroad and in China to seek cooperation from the year before Beijing's first successful production of tires, And to the market. This shows that the tire industry's technological progress to break the fetters of old ideas in order to achieve a breakthrough innovation.

Professor Chen Zhihong believe that the tire industry of independent innovation should be the following areas:

First, focus on improving production technology and equipment to promote energy saving. Nitrogen, such as the promotion of high-temperature curing process, the development of low temperature technology and equipment for mixing and curing processes, such as pre-radiation. Process-oriented reforms, such as the reduction of the product in the middle of the parking time. In addition, many foreign automated production lines in China are blank, it should carry out research.

Second, new materials increase the tire industry in the application of effort. At present, exports to the developed countries must be green tire non-toxic materials, additives, in order to meet the requirements of environmental protection abroad. China must step up drug-free green-friendly materials development, and expand the use of the tire. NOBS promoter as a result of toxic cancer-causing, has been eliminated in developed countries, but also our tire businesses are still in use, should be strengthened to promote NS, XT580, and other new products to promote environmentally friendly alternative to the NOBS.

Third, the development of green tires should be put on the agenda. In recent years, multinational tire companies have developed a new generation of environmentally friendly green tire safety, such as gas to run the tire warranty, smart tires, low rolling resistance tires, tires given to the more safety, environmental protection, energy saving performance. The tire companies in China's development has just begun.

Fourth, changes in tire development of the concept. Bionic our tires, tires are not safe from the tire industry developed, that technological innovation must be out of the tires of the original frame, will be the driving force for innovation and ideas.

Fifth, development of the increase in investment. Compared to technology development, China's enterprises to invest more interested in expanding the scale of production value and market share. There is insufficient investment in research and development of technology, it will be difficult to form their own intellectual property rights and core competitiveness, it will always be with other people in the back.
