Boost your tires for the new mobility
Reduce rolling resistance, reach an exceptional IPLR
With the radical changes in mobility happening now, we need more than ever before, maintenance-free tires with the lowest possible air-loss rates. Innerliners made with Exxpro™ 3563 enable exceptional IPLR performance (< 1.8%) affecting more than just energy efficiency. It impacts the vehicle’s safety, emissions and extends tire life. It’s a difference that can be measured with real data. Compared to the global average 80% halobutyl (HB)**/ 20% natural rubber (NR) innerliner blend, Exxpro™ 3563 delivers:
- 12% improvement in in-use rolling resistance
- 20-50% improvement in air retention
*Inflation Pressure Loss Rate
**HB acronym includes both bromobutyl and chlorobutyl
Gain a competitive edge with Exxpro™ 3563 in your tire innerliners
