Product Spotlight: LX-3100 – Advanced Resin Tackifier for EV Tire Performance

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to redefine automotive performance, the demand for tire components that meet the unique challenges of EVs is rapidly increasing. LX®-3100 is a high-performance hydrocarbon resin tackifier specifically engineered to meet the evolving requirements of next-generation EV tires.

Optimized for EV Tire Demands

EV tires face significantly different stresses compared to those on traditional gasoline-powered vehicles. With greater vehicle weight, high torque output, and the need for higher energy efficiency, EV tires must offer enhanced durability, grip, and reduced rolling resistance characteristics. LX®-3100 rises to this challenge by delivering:

  • Lower Rolling Resistance – Extends driving range and improve overall energy efficiency.
  • Improved Traction – Supports the high torque and rapid acceleration typical of electric drivetrains.
  • Enhanced Abrasion & Wear Resistance – Increases tire lifespan by withstanding the demands of heavier vehicles and regenerative braking systems.

Superior Processing & Performance Attributes

The chart below shows performance study results of LX-3100 compared to traditional tire tackifiers like PMR-85 and TDAE Oil in a SSBR/BR Passenger Tread Compound system. Indexed to the TDAE oil, results of this study show that LX-3100 provides superior wet traction, rolling resistance, and abrasion resistance.

Formulated as a high Tg, low molecular weight DCPD/C9 resin with excellent compatibility with rubber compounds, LX®-3100 enhances both tack and bond strength during processing. Its aromatic modification contributes to its performance in critical tire attributes, enabling manufacturers to meet the rigorous specifications of modern EV tires.

LX-3100® is the ideal choice for tire developers looking to elevate EV tire performance with a resin that delivers on both quality and value.
