As oil and gas reserves around the world continue to be consumed, with the consequence of rising fuel costs, better vehicle fuel efficiency becomes more and more vital to a strong economy.  One way of improving fuel efficiency is to reduce the effect of a tire’s rolling resistance or hysteresis in tread compounds.  SRCE continues to explore new ways of producing carbon blacks that offer such reduced hysteresis without sacrificing the other two critical aspects of tire performance: treadwear and traction.  Whether by techniques of surface modification, or by unusual production methods, SRCE can offer such products as our SR129 and SR401, to meet the demands of lower rolling resistance.  Please Contact Us for a sample to see how these blacks will perform in your particular application.
