Rubber silanes by Evonik Industries

Evonik Industries AG has been active in the field of sulfur-functional organosilanes since the early 1970s. The first and still most important of these products Si 69^® was developed as far back as 1971.

In particular, the manufacture of tires was revolutionized by the introduction of silica/silane technology. The three important properties such as rolling resistance, improved wet grip and abrasion resistance, which in conventional systems of the past could each be optimized only conditionally and to the diminishment of the remaining properties, could now be comprehensively improved.
