Safer, energy-saving tires

Carbon black/Silica mixtures yields improved tire properties.

For decades, automobile tires were reinforced with carbon black fillers. Today, new-generation silicas, used in combination with carbon black, provide tires with dramatically improved characteristics.

With its special reinforcing silica, Rhodia has become the preferred partner of tire-makers. This product has helped them develop high-performance tires featuring increased durability, enhanced road grip and reduced fuel consumption.
