During the Tire Technology Expo 2019 in Hanover, the international exhibition on tire manufacturing technology, DRT will exhibit its range of resins including terpene phenolic and polyterpene resins. As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of plant-based resins, DRT continues to extend its product lines to provide this fast-growing market with increasing sustainable solutions.

For many years now, the tire industry has evolved to meet environmental challenges. Research on a sustainable future for mobility has already had consequences on the sector. This dynamic market seeks high-value resins offering excellent technical and environmental performances to meet the new regulatory legislations.

« Tire manufacturers work now on tomorrow’s technologies within a circular economic approach. Their goal is to reduce their environmental footprint as much as possible. Today, DRT’s bio-sourced ingredients allow improved tire performance, without compromising its physical properties, while complying with new environmental legislations – as well as reduction of fuel consumption. This is a sustainable solution for the manufacturer who no longer wants to depend on fossil resources and meet consumer expectations, who now pay more and more attention to the composition of products. » explains M. Benjamin Léger, DRT’s Global Tire Market Manager.
