The role of natural rubber in the tire industry and its differences with synthetic rubber
Natural rubber remains a key component in modern tire production thanks to its superior elasticity and fatigue resistance. Synthetic rubbers like SBR and NBR, however, offer higher heat and chemical resistance. Combining both materials delivers optimal tire performance, balancing flexibility, strength, and environmental sustainability.
How Do UV Stabilizers Prevent the Degradation of Plastic Products?
How UV Stabilizers Protect Plastics Outdoors
Exposure to sunlight can cause plastics to yellow, crack, and lose strength. UV stabilizers act as a defense system—absorbing harmful radiation, neutralizing free radicals, and decomposing degradation byproducts. Combining different stabilizers ensures maximum durability for outdoor applications.
