Organized around reducing the amount of energy required to make tires, Silpara Technologies is working on development of a molecular technology that combines biotechnology and nanotechnology to improve mobility -- using composite materials to reduce friction in tires - and, by extension - enabling companies to use long-lasting and environmentally friendly tires. The firm's core expertise in anchored i silane chemistry, latex emulsion chemistry, and the nanostructure characterization of composite materials. SILPARA has demonstrated the feasibility of novel nanomaterials technologies improving the interaction between silica and natural rubber, resulting in improved physical properties and easier processability. These renewable materials will enable tire companies to achieve their sustainability goals defined in their product roadmaps.
