New Airtex Advanced Liner technology allows to prevent the loss of pressure in the tire and reduce its fuel consumption level.
Airtex is a new material that is attached to the inner side of the tire to prevent the loss of pressure. This original technology includes addition of special rubber to the rubber compound of conventional inner coatings. The Yokohama company has already patented the new technology. The material is air-proof and elastic at the same time what allows to reduce the natural loss of air to a great extent. Besides this the material is five times as light as the conventional coating what reduces the weight of the tire and, as the result, the fuel consumption level. The tires that are manufactured with the application of this technology are already sold in Japan, North America and some European countries. The company plans to manufacture more models with the use of Airtex technology in the future.
Within 10 years Yokohama has been producing tires that reduce the consumption of fuel but insufficient level of pressure restrain the useful properties of the tires and makes the riding less safe. That’s why the company conducted a lot of research aimed at the creation of the material that could prevent the loss of pressure. The Airtex has become the material and now the “Airtex of new generation” is being developed. In the future it will eliminate the loss of pressure.
The intensification of these developments was connected with the company’s aspiration to contribute to the struggle against global warming. According to the report of JATMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) the stable level of pressure in the tires is one of the factors that is ignored by the majority of drivers. The Yokohama company feels obligated to inform the drivers about the importance of maintenance of stable pressure level in the tires.
