Why use carbon black in car tires?

What are eco-friendly tires? In the 21st century tire industry to develop safety, environmental protection and energy saving. While improving tire performance, these three points must also be considered. At present, in tires, carbon black still occupies an absolute dominant position as a reinforcing filler, but it is strongly challenged by new silica. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the development of environmentally friendly tires, the quality of carbon black must be continuously improved. , The production process also needs continuous improvement, so as to stabilize its position in the field of tire reinforcement.

Environmentally friendly tires, such a statement is becoming more and more common, in a broad sense, any tire is more conducive to the environment than the currently commonly used tires.

Guaranteed tires can be said to be environmentally friendly tires. What are the advantages of this tire? Let's go through them one by one:

First of all, in the process of cycling, the energy cup consumes various resistances, of which about 20% of the gasoline is consumed by the rolling resistance of the tires. Therefore, reducing the rolling resistance of the tires can reduce energy consumption. Of course, reducing energy consumption also usually means reducing pollutant emissions. Environmentally friendly tires should have this advantage.

Secondly, tire running noise is an important external noise in cycling, and it has a relatively large impact on the surrounding environment and also has a certain impact on the comfort of the car itself. Therefore, it is necessary for environmentally friendly tires to have a certain performance in reducing noise.

The purpose of using environmentally friendly materials in various industries is to reduce environmental pollution. The use of non-polluting, non-toxic and harmless raw materials and auxiliaries in the production process can help improve the working environment of workers, and at the same time, it can also avoid raw materials that may pollute raw materials during production or use, which is also conducive to environmental protection. It is worth mentioning that many tires now use reclaimed rubber in the raw materials. This production method calls tire products environmentally friendly tires.

Furthermore, the current international advanced tire manufacturing technology is developing rapidly, and more and more production technologies can not only complete tire manufacturing more accurately and efficiently, but also have a significant feature that is more environmentally friendly, and the use of advanced production technology requires energy. The consumption is reduced by 30% to 50% compared with the traditional process.

There is also the impact on the road surface and the environment. At present, winter tires without studs and snow chains have been developed abroad, which can significantly reduce the damage of tires to the road surface and reduce noise, and are also very conducive to environmental protection. In addition, there are refurbishment, degradability and so on.

If you want to meet all the above conditions, ordinary carbon black will definitely not work. Fortunately, with the development, the production technology of carbon black is also constantly improving. In fact, carbon black production enterprises should pay more attention to new technologies, even more than tire enterprises. The known environmentally friendly tires include white carbon black and silane coupling agent combination technology, carbon black plus white and black dual-phase filler, and new nano-structure carbon black.
