LANXESS, a success at Tire Tech and Expo 2014 in Cologne

摘要

"THE trend clearly is heading toward increasingly high-quality tires that help automotive OEMs to cut fleet fuel consumption and thus achieve CO2 reduction targets-and consumers to save on fuel costs. And it all is largely thanks to performance rubber products and know-how from LANXESS." This is the conclusion the pioneer of synthetic rubber came to after its appearance at this year's Tire Technology Expo in Cologne. Experts from LANXESS and the LANXESS Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH business unit played a significant role in the conference, presenting a wide range of papers. At its stand, Rhein Chemie, which celebrates its 125-year anniversary in 2014, simultaneously served as a highly frequented contact point for questions on both the presentations and current products, such as Rhenowave, a new concept for the quality control of black rubber compounds, or LANXESS's new easy-processing NdBR rubber products that simplify the production of high-performance tires.
