When developing resins for the tire industry, our goal is to cut vehicles’ fuel consumption while improving grip. Using our rosin derivatives, hydrogenated rosin resins, terpene phenolic and polyterpene resins, the ideal formulation can be found, striking the right balance between rolling resistance , wear and grip.
With our plant-based resins, tire manufacturers can develop products with a better balance between rolling resistance and resistance to wear and traction, especially on wet and ice ground.
By carefully monitoring these three properties, the lifespan of tires can be extended and fuel consumption reduced.
We are the only global manufacturer utilizing the full range of pine chemicals feedstocks including gum rosin, tall oil rosin, crude sulfate turpentine, and limonene. This unique expertise allows us to offer to our customers the broadest range of rosin derivatives, polyterpene resins, styrenated terpene resins and terpene phenolic resins.
