Silane coupling agents.NXT NXT Next LowV silane silane or silicon hydride Any of a series of inorganic compounds of silicon and hydrogen with covalent bonds and the general chemical formula SinH(2n + 2). and NXT Ultra-LowV silane coupling agents are said to help decrease ethanol emissions up to 90%, compared to polysulfide pol·y·sul·fide n. A sulfide compound containing at least two sulfur atoms per molecule. silanes. This generation of silanes is said to provide the same easy, one-step mixing that helps shorten processing time and lower cost provided by NXT silanes. Tire tread compounds filled with silica help reduce automobile fuel consumption by up to 5% and improve traction and handling, but silica tire tread has been difficult to manufacture, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company. The use of traditional polysulfide silanes as the chemical coupling agents (for coupling silica to rubber) in silica tread compounds is said to complicate and prolong mixing, and generates ethanol throughout the production and life of the tire. The end result is said to be higher cost for processing and for abatement of volatile organic compounds volatile organic compound Environment Any toxic cabon-based (organic) substance that easily become vapors or gases–eg, solvents–paint thinners, lacquer thinner, degreasers, dry cleaning fluids (VOCs). The NXT LowV silane and NXT UltraLowV silane coupling agents are said to help give tire manufacturers the ability to produce a better tire. LowV silanes are said to make a significant improvement in the cost of silica tires, helping to increase their competitive advantage against tires utilizing carbon black, according to the company.
