Nokian van, campervan tyres – sidewalls now strengthened with aramid

Van and campervan tyres can lead hard lives. The vehicles they are fitted to are often driven fully loaded on poor roads and gravel surfaces. The tyres must bear the entire weight of the vehicle and provide safe and stable handling under all conditions. To give these products more strength, Nokian Tyres is now introducing its Aramid Sidewall technology into all Nokian van and campervan product lines. From 1 January 2018, it is present in the Nokian WR C3, cLine Van, cLine Cargo and Weatherproof C ranges. Nokian SUV tyres have been manufactured with aramid sidewalls for several years now, and in addition to the abovementioned products the material can be found in 15 Nokian tyre lines.

Twaron and aramid

Twaron is produced from a para-aramid that Teijin Aramid makes itself in facilities in Delfzijl and Emmen, the Netherlands using raw materials sourced from the oil industry. As explains Dr. Ir. Bert Gebben, group head of Wet Spinning within the R&D facility at the company’s headquarters in Arnhem, the para-aramid is formed through the reaction between an amine group and a carboxylic acid halide group.

Aramid – a material for a changing industry

,

On average, new cars sold in the European Union last year emitted three per cent less carbon dioxide than those sold in 2014. Yet average CO2 output was still close to 25 grams per kilometre – or more than 20 per cent – above the 95 gram limit the EU has set for 2020. Achieving the 2020 goal requires a further drop in vehicle running resistance, and car makers expect tyre OEMs to contribute to this goal by offering even lighter products with lower rolling resistance. This push for greener tyres that weigh less is music to the ears of the industry’s market-leading aramid supplier.
