Magnum D'Or Resources reports that truck tires utilizing its recycled rubber-based SRI compound have successfully passed the 2,500 kilometer validation trials they were undergoing at the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia.
The tires were fitted to a rear axle of a light commercial vehicle alongside Bridgestone BS100 tires in size 7.00-16 12PR in order to test performance and wear resistance.
The purpose of the trials, says the company, was to establish whether it is possible to include substantive recycled content in production OE and replacement tires without compromising performance and safety.
According to Magnum D’Or Resources, the results of these tests suggest the company's SRI compounds may be able to provide manufacturers recycled tires that operate just as efficiently as virgin rubber tires.
Protocol testing will continue over the cause of the coming year to establish the performance levels of the Magnum SRI compound in different variants of compounds, tire types and applications. (Tyres & Accessories)
