Veqan tires on the menu

摘要

Among the interesting recent introductions by the Lanxess Rhein Chemie business is a plant-derived version of its Ak-tiplast PP processing promoters, which are used in the production of tires and technical rubber articles. Based on renewable raw materials, Aktiplast PP-veg was developed specifically in response to a customer requirement from Asia, according to the company. Since the initial introduction, an international tire manufacturer from Europe has "expressed great interest" in the vegan additive, which enables rubber processors to reduce their CO2 footprint.
