　　At present, Sailun Group has achieved mass production of liquid gold tires, and has cooperated with more than 20 OEMs such as BAIC New Energy, BYD, Sinotruk, Dongfeng Motor, etc.

　　Revolutionary exploration of industrial chain integration innovation

　　Manufacturing is the key to the real economy, and the core of manufacturing is innovation

　　The tire industry is not only a typical manufacturing industry, but also a capital-intensive, labor-intensive, and technology-intensive industry

　　The liquid gold material first appeared in front of rubber people around the world at an academic event in 2016

　　In fact, prior to this, in 2013, the Yiweiyi Rubber Research Institute, a research and development institution under the National Rubber and Tire Engineering Technology Research Center (hereinafter referred to as "National Rubber Center"), had successfully developed chemical rubber mixing technology.

　　Some international authoritative experts said that to manufacture top-grade tires with high grade and low carbon dioxide emissions stipulated by the European labeling law, modified solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber must be used

The tires produced by Sailun roll off the production line

　　This process of fully and uniformly mixing rubber, reinforcing materials, and additives under continuous liquid phase conditions not only fills the technical gap at home and abroad, but also subverts the traditional wear theory
.
This process technology is also known by the industry as the fourth milestone original innovation technology in the rubber tire field after pneumatic tires, radial tires, and green tires
.

　　As the first large-scale industrial chain integration innovation project in the history of the international rubber industry, the engineering development path of liquid gold materials is extremely complex
.
Exploring and struggling in no man’s land, under the guidance of solid basic theories and engineering system thinking and industrialization goals, in the integration and innovation of the industrial chain, team members carry on themselves with unimaginable perseverance and perseverance.
Break through
.

　　It is in this pursuit of original innovation that the world's first green technology of chemical rubber refining was born, achieving a breakthrough from zero to one
.
It is the first time to directly observe the influence of polymer-reinforcing material interaction on the mechanical properties of rubber, which is its solid theoretical scientific basis
.
In 2018, the world's first 10,000-ton chemical rubber refining production line was completed, and the entire process was opened at one time.
It was a breakthrough from technological invention to industrialization
.
Also in 2018, Sailun Group's liquid gold tires officially rolled off the assembly line, which was a breakthrough in its industrial application
.

　　From theory to materials, to tire products that people cannot live without, the original innovation of the rubber industry chain that has been sharpened for ten years has finally come to fruition
.
The development of new synthetic rubber liquid phase mixing technology and its application in green tires jointly completed by Yiweiyi Rubber Research Institute, Yikai New Materials Co.
, Ltd.
and Sailun Group have not only solved the tire rolling resistance that has plagued the industry for many years, The problem of the "devil's triangle", which is difficult to balance the anti-slip performance and abrasion resistance, has also realized the greening of all links from raw materials, processing technology, material application to product use, and has obtained 34 authorized invention patents at home and abroad
.
This major scientific and technological achievement that provides new materials and new methods for the transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of China's rubber tire industry has won the first prize of the 2020 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation Science and Technology Award for Technology Invention

　　Innovation in emission reduction throughout the life cycle

　　"Carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" is China's solemn commitment to the world, and it is also an important strategy in the overall layout of the country's ecological civilization construction
.
To achieve the "dual carbon" goal, substantial and disruptive technological innovation is required, and these innovative technologies need to be applied to high-end manufacturing
.
In the process of helping to achieve the "dual carbon" goal, liquid gold material is such a disruptive innovation
.

　　In the selection of tire raw materials, liquid gold tires use non-fossil silica/quartz sand prepared by the world’s original carbon dioxide process of China National Rubber Center instead of carbon black prepared from fossil fuels as rubber reinforcement materials.
On average, 1 car tire can be used.
Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 8 kg.
One truck tire can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 36 kg.
At the same time, the liquid gold material prepared by the "green integration" process is compared with synthetic rubber prepared by the traditional process, which simplifies drying, molding, packaging, etc.
Energy consumption can also be greatly reduced during the treatment process
.

　　In the tire manufacturing stage, replacing the traditional “physical rubber compounding” process with the world’s first “chemical rubber compounding” technology allows the synthetic rubber plant to retain only the polymerization process and the tire plant to dispense with the internal mixing process.
The traditional process is reduced by about 60%; while improving the dispersion of reinforcing materials, it greatly reduces the energy consumption of the rubber compounding process.
The average energy consumption for producing 1 car tire can be reduced by 36.
1%, and the production of 1 truck tire Energy consumption can be reduced by 37.
2%
.

Sailun won the first prize of technology invention in 2020 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation Science and Technology Award

　　In the tire use process, on the one hand, the rolling resistance of liquid gold tires is greatly reduced, which can greatly reduce the fuel consumption of the car during driving, and at the same time can greatly reduce the carbon dioxide emissions
.
A car with liquid gold tires travels 150,000 kilometers, which can save about 810 liters of fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 2 tons, which is 6.
8% lower than that of traditional green tires
.
A heavy truck using liquid gold tires, based on 22 tires, travels 400,000 kilometers, which can save about 24,600 liters of fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 65.
48 tons compared with ordinary tires (rolling resistance class D) commonly used in the market
.
China’s sales of passenger car tires in 2020 will be 250 million.
Based on an average mileage of 150,000 kilometers per tire, if all liquid gold materials can be used, it will save 74.
7 billion liters of fuel (approximately 5.
27 West Lakes) and reduce emissions.
187 million tons of carbon dioxide
.
If China’s domestic sales of truck tires in 2020 are more than 80 million, and the average mileage per tire is 400,000 kilometers, if all liquid gold materials can be used, it can save 89.
5 billion liters of fuel (approximately 6.
31 West Lake) and reduce emissions.
238 million tons of carbon dioxide
.

　　On the other hand, liquid gold tires have excellent wear resistance, which can not only reduce the emission of fine particles into the atmosphere, but also effectively reduce the production of waste tires and alleviate the problem of "black pollution"
.
Because of the improvement in wear resistance, liquid gold tires can be described as one tire can be used for two purposes, which means that the consumption of raw materials and energy consumption is reduced by more than 50%
.
At the same time, a liquid gold truck tire can travel 400,000 kilometers.
If calculated according to two refurbishments, it means that the mileage can be extended to 1 million kilometers, which greatly saves resources and energy
.

　　In the entire life cycle from raw material selection, manufacturing, product use to recycling, liquid gold tires have greater advantages in energy saving and emission reduction than traditional tires, and will become a leader in technological innovation in the rubber industry and help the country achieve "dual carbon "The important engine of the goal
.

　　A new tire industry revolution is coming
