The Tires Sector
J Lyons Marketing has covered the top 50 global tire brands on new tech for the past twenty-five years. The main focus has been on new material side hard carbon, the same as battery anode, typically a bio- or up-cycled material. According to the researchers, about 30 per cent of a tyre is made of carbon black, a petroleum-based filler usually obtained from overseas. The material is becoming scarce as tire production continues to increase, and the researchers said there is no longer a surplus of carbon black filler. The scientists also noted that the filler is not sustainable because carbon black is a petroleum product. The average development time is a long journey, taking 3-5 years for the design to win. The hope is biomaterial can be specified so that rubber tires can be recyclable.

Graphite Energy
420 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills, NSW 2010 Australia
A new advanced battery chemistry requires a “unique” graphite as a thermal battery for manufacturing steam processes for in-house use. This is a green steam value proposition by an innovative thermal battery — a game changer.
Federal and state tax credits for Graphite Energy manufacturing systems have significant incentives. The primary customer installation is at Mars, Australia.
The tire rubber manufacturer process uses steam, and the top 20 brands have genuine Interest.

Curvite bio-sugar carbon powders do not directly compete with any petroleum-based or plant-based polymer. Instead, they provide a zero net carbon, low-cost, plant-based alternative to petroleum-based carbon powers in many potential applications. Curvite carbon powders would replace current commercial carbon powders as fillers in various polymers in tires. Many polymers use carbon fillers to achieve their performance properties for multiple applications. Any manufacturer that produces products containing a polymer with a carbon powder filler would like to make both the polymer and the filler as environmentally friendly as possible.
Curvite powders have the big advantage of being plant-based and carbon-neutral. Also, plant-based, activated carbons have complex 3-D structures and high surface areas, making them better suited as binder material

GEO40 SUSTAINABLE LOW CARBON COLLOIDAL SILICA (CS) FROM GEOTHERMAL FLUID FOR TIRES
New Zealand
Geo40 has developed innovative world-leading technology for recovering strategic minerals from geothermal brines. A sustainable future relies upon sustainable sources of future minerals; recovering silica from geothermal fluid opens up new opportunities in the geothermal ecosystem.
-Our world-first commercial Northern Plant processes 6,700 tonnes of geothermal fluid daily and will recover up to 5,000 tonnes per annum of colloidal silica from New Zealand geothermal brine.
-The carbon footprint of our sustainably sourced colloidal silica is typically under 200kg of carbon dioxide equivalent per metric ton of 30wt% product across Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon dioxide emissions.
-While we can readily displace existing colloidal silicas, we are mainly motivated by markets where our silica can displace environmentally unsustainable alternatives, such as polymers, which invariably end up in waterways.

Startup Carbon Rivers says graphene is the answer to toxic tyre chemicals. Graphene added to tyres could replace the toxic chemical 6PPD.
Graphene is known for its high strength and flexibility, which can enhance tire durability and longevity. By incorporating graphene into tire compounds, manufacturers can improve the tire's overall mechanical performance, including better resistance to wear and tear.
Graphene's low weight and high strength-to-weight ratio can help reduce the rolling resistance of tires. Lower rolling resistance can improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle carbon emissions, making graphene-enhanced tires more environmentally friendly.
Graphene has been shown to improve the grip and traction of tires on wet surfaces. By incorporating graphene into tire compounds, manufacturers can enhance the tire's ability to maintain traction and control in wet or rainy conditions, improving overall safety.

Technology: High-temperature lithium coin cells
Market: Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
Maxell succeeded in commercialising their first Silver Oxide button battery in Japan in 1976. Since then, various technologies and battery designs have been developed, one of which is Maxell’s most successful heat-resistant CRHR Coin Cell Battery. Designed for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) this product line is one of the most innovative and robust technologies in the Maxell product lineup.
These batteries are designed into monitoring devices inserted within automobile tires and are required to operate in extremely harsh environments. With temperatures between –40oC and +125 oC, gravitational acceleration of 2,000G, and speeds up to 300km/h these batteries are designed to withstand incredibly rugged conditions. As an expert in the field of batteries, Maxell has selected unique materials and applied proprietary technology for uniform Mixing, Dispersion & Sealing (forming) to prevent leakage of liquids while achieving long-term stability and excellent performance.
CRHR Advanced Technology Features: 10 Years’ Operating Performance & Wide Operating Temperature Range
High Sealing Property – Crimping seal technology is a critical feature in the design of coin cells, and it was once considered unrealistic to achieve 10 years’ life compared to laser sealing. However, Maxell realized over ten years’ life adopting brand-new gasket material with crimping seal configuration achieved through CAE (Computer Aided Engineering). This feasible crimping technology contributes to higher capacity retention and low impedance throughout ten years of field use.
Seram - ThermaSiC As A Coating By Atmospheric Thermal Spraying Disruptive Anti-Wear For Brake Disc
Tormmod Gjestland veg11 3936 Porsgrunn, Norway
Thermal spray coatings with a new breakthrough product one of the world’s hardest materials, and also lightweight. Main area of interest is disk brakes to lasts almost indefinitely .
Key Properties
Superior corrosion and abrasion protection
Superior performance at high temperatures
Very high hardness
Low weight
High deposit efficiency (80%)
Very dense (< 1%)
Low surface roughness (< 4μ Ra as sprayed)
Thin or Thick coatings (<50um to >5000um)
The properties of SiC makes it highly attractive as a coating for many industrial applications. Mainly due to extreme hardness in combination with a low friction coefficient and to being chemically inert. It also has a very low density compared to e.g. Tungsten Carbide (WC), which makes it attractive in applications where weight is of importance. The low density, together with the low price of bulk material, makes it a cost-effective competitor to most hard coating materials on the market.
Seram Coatings is the only supplier of SiC-based thermal spray coatings. ThermaSiC can be applied with key thermal spray processes such as for example atmospheric plasma spray and detonation gun.

Friction material formulated blend has been developed as lower cost alternative material than coke for brake pads. Additional carbon can converts to graphite / graphene for brake pads formulation but not " perfected “ at this stage. GDTC is in the process of commercialising an innovative technology recognised by an Edison award in 2015 for the recycling of one of the world’s major waste problems, end of life tyres. When we started this journey a bit over 10 years ago, none was interested. Now Tyres are at the top of every Government’s list of problem wastes but the market is not keeping up with the need to use the products of recycling. Climate Change has put circular economy now at fore front.
