- Benefits
We have maximized the amount of silica in our BBC T30S to provide several differentiating benefits:
- Improves tear strength and abrasion resistance
- Receptive to silane-coupling for optimum mechanical/dynamic reinforcement
- Reduces hysteresis and lowers rolling resistance
- Improves wet grip
- Enhances rubber-to-metal bond strength
- Reduces electrical conductivity; especially valuable in applications where higher electrical resistivity is required.

BBC grades relative to competing ASTM rubber grades
Very low tan delta and Payne effect values combined with high mechanical reinforcement make the Black Bear grades extremely valuable in tires, and other demanding, dynamic applications where low hysteresis and low rolling resistance are key requirements.
The high surface area of the Black Bear grades combined with their relatively low structure provide high tensile strength, very high elongation, with relatively low modulus.
