What is EcoPoint³, the “liquid gold”?
The all-new patented compound technology, also known as liquid phase mixing, enables optimum mixing uniformity during manufacturing. The EcoPoint3 compound marks a quantum leap in revolutionizing the performance and durability of solid tires. After years of thorough research and development into high-performance rubber materials, the EcoPoint³ compound takes our products to a new level of performance and durability.
Compared to conventional dry-mixed silica compounds, the EcoPoint3 process provides superior distribution of ingredients. This complicated process allows products' masterbatches to contain less filler, higher ratio of stress at elongation, and minimum proportions of impurities.
The EcoPoint3 technology also represents a breakthrough in green and low-carbon tire development, from the selection of raw materials, manufacturing, and product life cycle, while significantly reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Low heat buildup, high wear & puncture resistance
EcoPoint3 technology is effective in reducing heat buildup due its selective strong adhesion between silica and rubber vs. weak filler/filler interaction. In addition, such refined and controlled rubber and particle interaction enhances wear and cut resistance on the tire.
Maximum Efficiency & Tire Life
EcoPoint3 technology allows maximum efficiency by reducing rolling, skid, and wear resistance without reducing performance. The least amount of rolling, skid, and wear resistance (combined with low heat buildup, high wear & puncture resistance) allows for more productivity for applications, thus yielding maximum efficiency for your operations.
How it’s engineered
The Technology of EcoPoint3
Compared to carbon black compounds and conventional dry-mixed silica compounds, the EcoPoint3 provides superior distribution of ingredients when manufacturing compound batches. This complex process allows for MAXAM tires’ masterbatches to contain less filler, higher ratios of stress at elongation, and minimum proportions of impurities, resulting in maximum control on physical properties of rubber compounds.
Sustainable EcoPoint3
The EcoPoint3’s raw materials used to manufacture silica originates from sand, making it more sustainable than using carbon black, which uses more fossil fuels in its creation. MAXAM Tire also utilizes a low-carbon development and manufacturing process. In addition, with maximum wear and tire life, less waste is consumed.
