8 Kuraray Liquid Rubber �
Kuraray Liquid Rubber in tires
Benefits: � Improves grip performance (ice, wet and dry)
Three key parameters determine tire performance: grip, fuel efficiency and durability. Kuraray Liquid Rubber offers advantages for tire geometry, dynamic tire properties, heat generation and processability. Kuraray Liquid Rubber functions as reactive plasticizers but have far higher molecular weight than normal plasticizers, that reduces bleeding and soiling of molds.
� Improves rolling resistance � Improves abrasion resistance � Low migration � Improves filler dispersion
