Market and product

Some countries in Europe, America, Japan, Korea and other tire labeling regulations and new standards will soon have been implemented, the wet grip of tires, energy efficiency, wear, noise and service life, higher performance requirements. Industry experts recently told reporters consistent suggestions: exporting country as the tire, China should be the standards of the European Union and other foreign tire labeling regulations, improve the relevant regulations and standards, and to enhance the formulations of synthetic rubber raw materials, technology and equipment level, and to keep up with the green tire supporting demand.

“The EU is the second largest overseas export market after the United States, China’s tire to maintain the share of this huge market need manufacturers face the challenge. Modern tire requirements slippery, and improved rolling resistance and wear performance, without sacrificing other properties, which need to be optimized synthetic rubber technology to accelerate the research and development of high-performance synthetic rubber production and processing technologies. “Double Coin tires Institute director of FIU soubo said.

He introduced green tire has good elasticity, rolling resistance, low fuel consumption, low heat and abrasion resistance, puncture resistance, large carrying capacity, ride comfort. Countries in constructing the relevant regulatory framework to promote green development of the tire. Which tire labeling system is designed to promote low fuel consumption, low noise and high performance of the tire to enhance the safety of the road transport and improve the economic and environmental efficiency. EU tire labeling system will be introduced in November 2012 and the relevant mandatory standards are relatively strict, comprehensive tire labeling regulations, energy efficiency of tires, slippery, noise and life performance are raised higher requirements.

LI Hua Ting, deputy chief engineer of the Beijing Research and Design Institute of Rubber Industry is expected, under the impetus of the new regulations, the recent global share of green tires will increase by more than 15%, and synthetic rubber raw materials application requirements, including changes in the development of a variety of raw materials and with the changes in technology, production and process changes, and the use of new equipment.

“Tire rubber consumption accounts for more than 60% of the total production of rubber and tire changes in product structure also determines tire glue varieties change and technology development, including formulation technology, process technology and new equipment and technology such as key by the improved performance of synthetic rubber improve the quality and performance of products, reduce production costs, improve work efficiency, energy saving tire to meet environmental requirements. “LI Hua Ting said.

The China Petrochemical Economic and Technology Research Institute senior engineer Yang Xiuxia that the introduction and implementation of the EU tire labeling law tire safety, environmental protection, energy saving series specified will make the SSBR (SSBR), Nd-BR (neodymium polybutadiene rubber), high value-added rubber varieties demand is increasing rapidly. Domestic synthetic rubber enterprises should speed up the construction of the product system, strengthen cooperation with downstream tire companies to seize market opportunities, to jointly develop personalized products to meet the demand for high performance tires.

Subotica that the tire labeling system to adapt and related standards, China should speed up the the SSBR processing application technology improvements and new brand development. “SSBR is used for the manufacture of green tire tread, to adapt to the car tires low rolling resistance and high wet skid resistance and abrasion resistance requirements, can effectively reduce vehicle fuel consumption, manufacturing and processing application technology to speed up the development of SSBR promote domestic The green tire industry’s core strength. “he said.

In addition, Nd-BR and trans-isoprene rubber is also hot topics. Neodymium-based polymer production of rubber wear resistance, and for manufacturing a green tire tread and sidewall, having a high resistance to fatigue and resistance to crack growth and cutting ability, in combination with the SSBR ensures high pavement the clutch resistance and low rolling loss, while reducing tire wear. The blend rubber has trans-isoprene rubber and natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, cis-isoprene rubber blends of crosslinked made rolling resistance and lower heat, abrasion resistance, improvement of fatigue characteristics make tires more fuel-efficient, longer, safer.

Launched with foreign tire labeling regulations and relevant standards, China’s tire labeling regulations and implementation, including labeling regulations to promote a late start, leading the domestic synthetic rubber and tire companies for the introduction of mandatory EU regulations also lack necessary response measures. In, soubo suggested that China should speed up the pace, and strive for energy efficiency labeling system with international standards, and to further improve the technical level of synthetic rubber and tire industry.

The development of energy efficiency standards to carry out energy-saving product label system of basis, our country should pay close attention to tire products can efficiency standards of the revised and formulated first, want to strengthen the publicity of energy efficiency standards and the tire label system, so that enterprises emphasis on the production of energy-saving tire products of consumer understanding and awareness of energy-saving products; Second, it is necessary to collect the relevant laws and regulations of the technologically advanced countries to understand the purpose of implementation, technical requirements, means of detection, authentication methods, and key time node, to make technical improvements to enhance the work regulations synchronization implementation. “Subotica said, should draw on international best practice, further study of the feasibility of China’s tire labeling system and method, in order to promote the development of domestic high-performance energy-efficient matching of raw material products market. should increase investment in research, including personnel training the introduction of technology, with resources, raw materials and the level of tire technology to meet or exceed the regulatory requirements in the shortest possible time. “

At present, China has not tire standard regulations and mandatory standards. LI Hua Ting said the domestic green tire products related standards work has been started to tire rolling resistance limits standards have been identified, will soon become mandatory standards, as well as supporting synthetic rubber to follow up on the specified direction.
