Product Overview

Multilayer gas-barrier film engineered to replace the ~1 mm thick butyl / halobutyl rubber inner-liner of modern radial tyres — significantly reducing weight and improving fuel efficiency while maintaining gas-barrier performance under millions of flex cycles. Covered by Kuraray (EVOH-based) and Kolon Industries (polymer film) patents. Also covers interleaf / separator films (LDPE / LLDPE / PET, 25 – 75 µm) used between uncured rubber components.

Key High-Performance Features

✓EVOH barrier layer — excellent OTR & air retention
✓Replaces ~1 mm butyl rubber (significant weight reduction)
✓Fatigue / crack resistance for millions of flex cycles
✓Interleaf grade: silicone-coated release variants

Industrial Applications

Passenger Car Tyres

Used as the inner air-retention layer to prevent air leakage and improve tyre life.

Truck & Bus Tyres

Provides enhanced air barrier performance for heavy-duty transportation and long-haul operations.

Two-Wheeler Tyres

Used in motorcycle and scooter tyres to maintain pressure stability and reduce air loss.

Off-Road & Construction

Vehicle Tyres

Applied in mining, earthmovers, tractors, and industrial equipment operating in harsh environments.

Agricultural Tyres

Improves durability and air retention for farm machinery, tractors, and harvesters.

Performance & Racing

Tyres

Helps maintain precise tyre pressure under high-speed and high-temperature conditions.
