Vulkanox HS Scopeblue
This is a sustainable antioxidant made from more than 55 per cent sustainable raw materials. It is a greener alternative to TMQ, an additive used in tyre production to extend tyre life and prevent degradation. This product is manufactured at LANXESS’s ISCC PLUS-certified plant in Germany.
Aflux SD
LANXESS is set to introduce its new processing agent, Aflux SD, in the second quarter of 2025. It is designed to improve silica dispersion in rubber compounds to improve tyre properties, including wear resistance, rolling resistance, and wet grip. Simply put, tyres made with Aflux SD will be more fuel-efficient and durable.
Other major rollouts include Rhenodiv release agents, Rhenoshape curing bladders, and Rhenocure DR/S, aimed at eliminating cleaning steps, reducing vulcanisation time, and improving fuel efficiency, durability, and overall performance, respectively.
