    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] It is understood that the dependence on imported natural rubber in China is as high as 80%, and 50% of tire manufacturing costs come from natural rubber
    .
    At present, due to multiple factors such as the epidemic, trade barriers, and rising raw materials, the development of China's tire industry is facing many challenges
    .
    How to get rid of the constraints of the source of natural rubber is a problem that many head tire manufacturers have been thinking about
    .

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    Eucommia gum is a high-quality natural rubber resource with development potential in China.
    It has the three characteristics of double bond, flexibility, and trans-structure.
    It can be used as rubber high-elastic materials, low-temperature plastic materials and thermoelastic materials, which is conducive to giving rubber products more excellent Performance
    .
    Eucommia rubber industry covers a wide range and can be widely used in tire manufacturing, aerospace, medical, national defense, shipbuilding and other fields
    .

     

    Take the tire application as an example: adding only a small amount of eucommia rubber to the tire tread rubber can make the tire more resistant to wear, high elasticity, low heat generation, and puncture resistance
    .
    Compared with the existing formula technology, the abrasion resistance of tires with eucommia rubber formula is increased by more than 40%, while maintaining good anti-blocking performance, while the heat generation of the rubber material is kept at a low level, and the tire quality is significantly improved
    .

     

      GM's Maxima 5X XR290 is a true "Eucommia Tire", which accurately locates the general demand for "longer mileage" of tires by truck drivers.
    It adopts Eucommia rubber tread formula technology to effectively solve ordinary truck and bus tires.
    In the process of use, fast consumption, high fuel consumption, poor driving performance and other problems, the safety and wear resistance of tires have been greatly improved
    .
    The superior product strength also allows XR290 to win the 2020 Commercial Vehicle Annual "Tire Star" Award and ApexTire 2020 Annual Truck and Bus Category "Annual Safety Tire" Award
    .

     

      In recent years, China's research on the application and development of eucommia rubber has gradually become active
    .
    Eucommia gum is blended or modified with other polymer materials to develop damping and shock absorption materials, shielding materials, TPV and shape memory materials based on Eucommia gum
    .
    Through the sulfonation of eucommia gum, new high-strength adhesives can also be developed
    .

     

      At the same time, eucommia rubber is also an excellent modified material for synthetic rubber and plastics.
    It can be blended and modified with plastics to produce high-performance plastic alloys, which are widely used in auto parts, sports equipment, etc.
    , and it has a huge potential market in China
    .

     

      The Ministry of Science and Technology of China strongly supports the research of advanced composite sports equipment, and has continuously deployed related projects for the key special projects of the "Science and Technology Winter Olympics"
    .
    Among them, the "Key Technologies for Improving Sports Performance of Paralympic Athletes" project established in 2018 requires the focus on the research on the preparation and forming process of functional high-impact gutta-percha nanocomposites, and the production of personalized armor protection for new gutta-percha materials.
    The research and development results of the project will be demonstrated and applied in the Beijing Paralympic Winter Games
    .

     

      It is reported that in recent years, Shandong Beilong Holding Group Co.
    , Ltd.
    has made a series of research and development progress in the application of eucommia gum to sports protective equipment and auxiliary products for the disabled.

    .
    At present, the company's eucommia rubber limb protective gear and armor have been used in the training of winter Paralympic alpine skiers, and the protective effect is obvious
    .

     

      Shandong Beilong Holding Group is a comprehensive enterprise in the field of eucommia ulmoides, integrating eucommia cultivation, comprehensive development of eucommia resources, production of eucommia gum, product development and operation
    .
    The company has also developed a series of non-slip and wear-resistant sole materials
    .
    More significant is that by using bio-based materials in shoe sole materials and increasing the proportion of bio-based materials, it provides an important sustainable solution for reducing carbon footprint and reducing carbon emissions in the shoe material supply chain
    .

     

      As a unique sustainable natural rubber resource and industrial basic material in China, eucommia gum is called a "strategic new material"
    .
    Paying attention to the research and development of eucommia rubber will promote the product structure and application performance of China's tire and other rubber products industries to a new level, and at the same time help break the current situation of excessive dependence on natural rubber
    .
