Enhance your tire formulation with our state-of-the-art Antiozonant Imaging technology. We provide detailed spatial analysis of antiozonants in tire material to assess homogeneity and leeching, giving manufacturers unprecedented visibility into protective compound distribution throughout the rubber matrix.

Our advanced imaging system precisely maps the concentration and migration patterns of critical antiozonants, including 6PPD and related compounds, revealing:

• Distribution uniformity across the tire structure
• Compound migration pathways before/after curing and aging
• Potential leaching zones and environmental exposure points
• Interaction dynamics with other tire ingredients
  
  

Antiozonants play an essential role in extending tire life by preventing degradation from environmental ozone exposure. However, recent scientific findings have identified concerns regarding certain antiozonants like 6PPD transforming into quinone derivatives that may impact aquatic ecosystems when they leach from tire materials during use.

Our imaging technology helps manufacturers:

• Optimize antiozonant concentration and placement for maximum protection
• Identify formulation adjustments that minimize environmental leaching
• Evaluate alternative antiozonant performance with molecular precision
• Support data-driven development of next-generation sustainable protectants
  
  

By providing this molecular-level intelligence, we help tire manufacturers maintain critical performance while addressing emerging environmental considerations, enabling more sustainable innovation without compromising the essential protective functions these compounds provide.
