Anti-Degradants for Tire Protection
Tire rubber compounds face continuous oxidative stress and ozone exposure during both manufacturing and service life. Without protection, these compounds experience chain scission and crosslinking reactions that lead to premature aging, with laboratory tests showing up to 40% loss in mechanical properties after accelerated aging at 70°C for 168 hours. Current manufacturing processes must balance protecting the rubber matrix while maintaining critical performance properties.
The fundamental challenge lies in incorporating anti-degradants that provide comprehensive protection against multiple degradation mechanisms while preventing unwanted side effects like blooming, discoloration, and environmental leaching.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including new p-phenylenediamine derivatives with improved solubility, quinoline-based antioxidant systems, and specialized diamine compounds that resist migration. These and other approaches focus on achieving long-term protection while meeting increasingly strict requirements for environmental impact and tire appearance.
