Tire and Tubes Overview
Royalene® EPDM, in blends with high diene polymers such as NR and SBR, has demonstrated its usefulness in tire compounds to impart improved heat and ozone protection. EPDM is also a common component in white sidewall compounds due to its ability to function as a non-staining antiozonant. The addition of Royalene® EPDM to an inner tube compound containing butyl rubber increases green strength, as well as improves heat and ozone protection.
