Maxam Tire has launched an all-new proprietary compound, EcoPoint3, to be fully integrated into its solid tire lineups at a new automation-heavy factory.
In addition to including the new rubber compound in the company's solid tires, Maxam’s new factory will increase existing production volume, efficiency, and consistency through advanced automation.
“After several years of research and development of high-performance rubber materials, the Eco-Visco-Elastomer-Composite, EcoPoint3 compound elevates the organization to a new level of global competitiveness,” says Troy Kline, president of Maxam Tire North America. "Compared to carbon black compounds and conventional dry-mixed silica compounds, the EcoPoint3 process provides superior distribution of ingredients during the mixing process. This innovative process allows for Maxam’s compounds to contain less inert filler, higher ratios of stress at elongation, and minimal proportions of impurities resulting in next generation products."
EcoPoint3 technology not only improves a tire’s rolling resistance, but also enhances skid and wear resistance producing a stronger, safer, more energy-efficient tire that delivers a comfortable ride, the company says.
