 "Lanxess opens first production line for tyre curing bladders in Asia")
Lanxess’ Rhein Chemie Additives business unit has opened a production line for Rhenoshape tyre curing bladders at its Chinese production site in Qingdao. With this investment, Lanxess will expand its global production capacity for these high-performance products in a first step by around 10 per cent.
Rhein Chemie Additives is the only global player offering tyre manufacturers bladders, release agents and tyre marking inks from a single source. With its fourth bladder plant, the company is further strengthening its global production network. “It is our first Rhenoshape production line in Asia and opens up significant growth potential for us. Our customers place high value on their ability to source Rhenoshape bladders locally,” said Philipp Junge, head of Rubber Additives business at Rhein Chemie Additives.
China is the world’s largest producer of tyres. “We serve international tyre manufacturers who produce their innovative tyres in China and other Asian countries, such as Japan, Thailand and Malaysia,” added Junge.
The new production line is equipped with technology to manufacture curing bladders for lightweight commercial vehicle tyres and passenger car tyres. It leverages the latest findings in bladder technology and provides customers with bladders from compression and injection presses.
Rhein Chemie Additives supplies the tyre industry with a broad range of pre-dispersed polymer-bound additives, processing promoters, vulcanisation and filler activators, anti-sun check waxes, release agents, tyre marking inks and high-performance tyre curing bladders.
