The Silica Technology is to Tyres what Fuel cell technology is to Cars

Quite so, the Sustainable Performance, manufacturing & Cost are Typical factors limiting the commercialization of this Green Technology ,

At JK Tyre, this challenge has been tamed by scientists by perfecting a revolutionary Hyper bonding Silica Technology, replacing carbon black as The key reinforcing Material s in Tyres

The challenge for scientists all over the world has been the overly Inert behavior of SILICA. JK Tyre HBS technology uses a special formulation to manipulate silica to bond with other Matrix aggregates. By customizing micro-fibers within an exclusive compound, JK Tyre‘s HBS technology engineered a new tread rubber with dual elasticity.

The Binary Function Compound (BFC) makes the tread rigid and stable in the rolling direction, and flexible and compliant in the lateral direction, giving you TOTAL CONTROL

Advantages Of JK tyres HBS technology

• Ensures better silica to polymer bonding.
• Improved wear & Handline
• Lower heat build-up
• Well balanced levels of wet traction and rolling resistance.

Tyre Trivia

In the early days of automobiles, tires were seldom black. The rubber from which they were made was naturally colored off-white or tan. Today's black tires owe their color to an accidental discovery.

In 1885, the rubber tire companies decided to try black tires, thinking that they might not show the dirt as much. They added carbon black pigment to the rubber mixture. To their surprise, they discovered that the carbon-colored rubber tires were five times more durable than the uncolored ones. Today's tires are far tougher than those first black tires, and much more complex. They contain dozens of layers, with steel belts and computer-designed treads.
