Application of Nano-Active Zinc Oxide in Tread Compound of Motorcycle Tire
Xiaoming Li · Tire Industry · 2011
The application of nano-active zinc oxide instead of indirect method zinc oxide by less weight in tread compound of motorcycle tire was investigated.The results showed that,while keeping the rubber content of compound unchanged and using nano-active zinc oxide instead of indirect method zinc oxide with 40% less by weight,the physical properties of compound were similar with those of indirect method zinc oxide filled compound,and the physical properties,endurance and high speed performance of the finished tire were similar with those of the product tire.The processibility was normal,and the production cost decreased.
