Compelling New Tire/Retread Manufacture Material

Size and shape of the asphalt mineral matter leads to a finish approximating 0% voids.


Overview

 

Trinidad Lake Asphalt (TLA) has traditionally been used as the "Rolls Royce" of road building modifiers. TLA is composed of 54% resinous material and 46% mineral matter all within a homogenous mix. It contains, asphaltenes, resins, oils,sulfur, silica -(siloxane bonded), all components used in tire manufacturing. Due to the sizes and shapes of the mineral matter, TLA provides a finish which approximates a 0% voids.

This unique, patented technology uses TLA as a new material to manufacture tires.

The Problem Solved by the Technology

The R&D project that spawned this technology had the objective of creating a cheaper tire using Trinidad Lake Asphalt without sacrificing tire performance of the best manufactured tires.

How the Technology Solves the Problem

This material solves the problem by utilising the properties (and the chemistry) of the material which was obtained whilst researching TLA itself.

Primary Application of the Technology

This technology is ideally suited for low cost, high quality manufacture of tires.

Other Potential Applications

Paint manufacturers could also take advantage of this material.

Competitive Advantage

TLA is composed of many raw materials which are used to manufacture tires.It also contains siloxane bonded silica, which is responsible for coloured tires.

TLA when used in tire manufacture would make a tire cheaper. A lot of various grades of carbon blacks are used in tire manufacture to impart different properties to different parts of the tire, TLA  replaces a large proportion of carbon black, - an excellent material(TLA) being used throughout the complete manufacturing process.

Deployment

All the existing equipment which is presently used in tire manufacture can remain unaltered--no new manufacturing equipment is necessary. A new material merely replaces a number of individual raw ingredients used in the manufacture of tires.

Comments on Deal Structure, Potential Terms and Restrictions

We are looking for a complete technology transfer and sale of this technology.

Additional Information

This technology is supported by one U.S. patent:

U.S. Patent Classes & Classifications Covered in this Patent:

Class 524: Synthetic Resins Or Natural Rubbers -- Part Of The Class 520 Series.

Part of the Class 520 Series - some general types of subject matter include: Solid synthetic resins, per se, regardless of utility; processes of preparing a synthetic resin involving a chemical reaction; reactable compositions which form a product; processes of purifying a solid synthetic resin or composition containing a synthetic resin by a chemical or physical process; process of reclaiming or recovering a solid synthetic resin; processes of treating a synthetic resin or specified intermediate condensation product with a reactant, or product thereof; blends of solid synthetic resins, processes of preparing or treating such blends; chemically reacted solid synthetic resins or processes of preparing; potentially reactable compositions which contain a solid synthetic resin or SICP and products of such a reaction, or processes of preparing; room vulcanizable potentially reactive compositions which merely require moisture and which are usually activated by heat and/or pressure to form a product; compositions of a nonreactant material and a solid synthetic resin or SICP; compositions containing a structurally defined material which is dispersed in a matrix which is not identified by overall dimension or some structure or processes of preparing; single-layered products containing a solid synthetic resin or composition thereof reciting no structure or dimension, or a fiber, filament, etc., which is no more than the material from which it is made, nonstructured single-layered web or sheet is encompassed; particles or a powder, per se, of a solid synthetic resin or composition thereof for which particles or powder no dimensions are recited; reactable compositions which form a product proper for this class and contain a photoinitiator or photosensitizer which are activated by wave energy or processes of preparing.
