Japan's Sumitomo Rubber intended offer 100% non-oil natural resources tires

According to Japanese media reports, Japan's Sumitomo Rubber Industries "green tire technology seminar held in its Kobe Corporation.

 

Since the Japanese domestic market from 2010 to import low fuel consumption and tire labeling system, low fuel consumption tires Sumitomo Rubber Products has 2 consecutive years ranked first in the sales. Therefore, in order to introduce the development of this tire technology, and to promote the exchange of information between the technical staff, Sumitomo Rubber planning the seminar. 

 

It is reported that the low fuel consumption and tire labeling system rotational resistance tires performance and wet grip performance set level benchmarks, further standardized products and the level of identification, thus contributing to the popularity of low fuel consumption tires. On low fuel consumption tires "mark printed on the products meet certain benchmarks, Sumitomo Rubber actively normalized product in the beginning of the implementation of the system. 

 

Seminar spoke first, by the Sumitomo Rubber publicity Minister Kubota static grinding Speaking from the three major themes of environmentally friendly products: Sumitomo Rubber consider whether to procure more conducive to the Earth's environment as the focus of operations in the tire, based on raw materials, low fuel consumption and save resources three major themes continue to promote the development of environmentally friendly products. " 

 

Raw materials, Sumitomo Rubber tire development does not depend on the resources of oil and Carboniferous fossil proceed in 2001, on sale in 2006, non-oil natural resources utilization rate of 70% ENASAVE ES801, and then again in the 2008 sale utilization be further increased to 97% of the green tire "ENASAVE 97", constitute the elements of the remaining 3% of the rubber accelerators, carbon black and rubber antioxidant. The Sumitomo Rubber developed special techniques for the synthesis of aromatic compounds using natural resources, and the technology import factory, and then start the production, not only can be used for the tire, can also be used to produce synthetic rubber and rubber drugs. In addition, Sumitomo Rubber will also discuss the choice of materials and combustion conditions, to establish the biological resources in the new technology to convert carbon components. 

 

In addition, low fuel consumption and performance, Sumitomo Rubber has been considering how to reduce tire rolling resistance, tire labeling system for low fuel consumption since the start in 2010 to actively promote the research and development of low fuel consumption tires. Strive sale in 2014 new tire rotation resistance is reduced by 50% compared with the previous tire. 

In addition, the Tokyo Motor Show in 2011, Sumitomo Rubber said trials have 100% non-oil natural resources tires, plans to adjust the production system, and strive in the fall of 2013. 

 

On the mass production of the non-oil natural resources tires, Wada Hyo the company of Sumitomo Rubber Materials Development Headquarters material first Chief the ENR (evolution and natural rubber) and ENASAVE 97 birth of the origin of the following instructions: "120 years ago after the world's first pneumatic tires available, then use only 100% natural resources and the development of the petrochemical industry causing the tire to evolve, however today but also back to nature, that is, again, 100% of the use of natural resources for the rubber to further improve the performance, the first from the changing natural rubber quality. " 

 

Wada represents 100% oil, to develop the outer natural resources of tires, lies "will convert all of the organic matter into bio-resources, and combustion of natural resources manufacturing plant carbon black technology and the use of the technology of the plant biomass synthesis of aromatic compound is necessary .
