Car and truck tires to the tire demand for carbon black

Due to the different needs of different regions, the auto industry and users of car tire performance requirements have been different.
In Europe, only through the use of silica / silane as the main reinforcing filler at the same time in order to meet the high road safety and environmental requirements (low fuel consumption). Through the use of special polymers and silica / silane system can be high performance and the wet road traction wet road braking performance. By reducing rolling resistance to lower fuel consumption 5%. In the car tire tread can also improve the use of carbon black dry pavement clinging to power and manipulation of dry pavement performance and ultimately enhance the performance of the overall balance.
In the original tire market in Europe (OEM), used in car tire tread formula of silica / silane system has filled more than 80%, modern winter tires significantly improve the performance of the main dependent on the tread compound used in white carbon Black / silane.
As a result, all-white carbon black winter tires on behalf of the Central European levels of development of modern science. On the other hand, carbon black is still the United States to meet actual market demand for the best choice, because the use of carbon black will be very high mileage, low rolling resistance and high travel comfort. However, the automotive industry in June 2007 and the entry into force of the new DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) 139 cases (NHTSA / U.S.) Tires of a higher demand, which would require a higher durability and high-speed performance, In the United States will lead to greater use of silica tire technology. In the United States of demanding that these will also import tires, especially for imports from Asia have impact on the tires, tires imported DOT139 also have to meet all the statutory requirements.
