Anti-Skid Resins: In recent years, with the implementation of tire labeling regulations worldwide—particularly for PCR tires—higher standards are required for rolling resistance and wet grip. Approximately 48-50% of a tire’s rolling resistance comes from the tread, and grip is primarily achieved through the tread. Anti-skid tread resins can adjust the dynamic properties of the compound, enhancing wet grip performance of the tread.

Tear-Resistant Resins: TBR/OTR tires used in mining are exposed to harsh road conditions, requiring the tread to have high puncture resistance, cut resistance, and tear resistance. Incorporating tear-resistant resins into TBR/OTR tread compounds can improve elongation and tensile properties of the rubber, thereby enhancing puncture resistance, cut resistance, and tear resistance of the compound.
