The bio based itaconic ester rubber produced by Jingbo Zhongju can improve the performance of tires, with rolling resistance reaching the B-level of the EU tire labeling method. At the same time, it also has excellent wear resistance and wet grip performance.
According to Zheng Hongbing, the director of the Jingbo Zhongju Rubber Research Institute, the excellent performance of bio based itaconic ester rubber is mainly attributed to its special molecular structure. Through technological innovation, materials have been synthesized using copolymerization and functionalization modification methods. At present, Jingbo Zhongju has built the world's first 1000 ton demonstration production line.
Professor Wang Runguo from Beijing University of Chemical Technology said, "We have achieved rapid development and a leading position by collaborating with companies like Jingbo Company
Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Jingbo Zhongju have completed original technology research and development, rubber production, and batch manufacturing and performance evaluation of Linglong tires, achieving full cooperation between the school and the enterprise.
According to Zhang Liqun, an academician of the CAE Member, bio based itaconic ester rubber has very low carbon dioxide emissions and very good performance in the production process. Through later modification and coordination technology, it can be made into B-class fuel saving tires in the future.
Halogenated butyl rubber, an important raw material for tires
As the most indispensable raw material for tires, before 2010, only the United States and Germany had production technology and equipment for halogenated butyl rubber, and the technology was not transferred to foreign countries, while China could only rely entirely on imports.
Zhang Liqun, an academician of the CAE Member, said that Jingbo Holding Group has been carrying out the layout of new materials in the refining sector, such as butyl rubber. We are not satisfied with the production of traditional butyl rubber brands in the past, but have been thinking backwards about what brand, molecular structure, and performance the next generation of butyl rubber should develop in the future, combined with the market demand, We are doing something very innovative.
The halogenated butyl rubber produced by Jingbo Zhongju has improved the performance of the rubber compound, resulting in purer products, improved cleanliness, better aging resistance, extended product service life, and reduced wastewater generation, making it more environmentally friendly.
Jingbo Zhongju has always been at the forefront of domestic rubber research and development, deepening the layout of high-end new materials from the product chain and business format chain, developing from halogenated butyl rubber to special functional reinforced series rubber, and from single rubber raw material type to rubber composite material solution.
