Improve Tire Performance, Simplify Rubber Compounding, and Reduce VOC Emissions with AGILON® Silica
Ready to take the competition to school? Now you can with AGILON® performance silica, the breakthrough reinforcing filler technology from PPG that enhances tire performance while enabling you to simplify rubber mixing and dramatically cut your plant’s energy use and VOC emissions.
PPG precipitates silica, silane, and functional additives together at its manufacturing facility and delivers them to you as a single finished compounding solution. As a result, Agilon performance silica provides an entirely new innovation platform that can help you …
Enhance Tire Performance
Agilon performance silica chemistry enables:
- Higher silica-loadings
- Reduced rolling resistance and increase fuel efficiency
- Improved traction and handling in wet, snowy or icy conditions
- Extended tread life for longer-lasting tires
Simplify Rubber Mixing
Using Agilon performance silica instead of traditional silica/silane mixing allows your plant to:
- Utilize older mixing technologies Increase mixing throughput
- Mix at high temperatures without increasing viscosity or causing premature vulcanization
- Mix at lower temperatures to avoid natural rubber degradation
Reduce Energy Use and VOC Emissions
Ultimately, your plant reaps the added benefits of:
- Fewer mixing passes and/or shorter mix times, resulting in lower energy consumption and higher productivity
- Virtually eliminating alcohol-related VOC emissions resulting from traditional silica/silane mixing
