    Advanced Compounding Technology Compound Innovation

    Improved compound performance by introducing the carbon-silica dual filler system. This system improves the homogeneity of the rubber compound mixing. The benefit is that the fuel efficiency is increased by using this new polymer and silica filler. Fuel efficiency is increased by using a new polymer and silica filler.

    Innovative Mixing System

    The Innovative Mixing System (IMS) minimizes the disconnection of the polymer chain and oxidation. The carbon black reinforcement also has higher dispersion levels. These effects of IMS help strengthen the bonding force between the carbon black and rubber for a stronger compound and lower heat generation.
    The benefits of IMS are higher mileage and fuel efficiency.

    1 Step
    Larger molecular weight by minimising the breakdown of the polymer chain.

    Hankook Tire & Technology-Tires-Smart-Smart Flex-DL51-Features-image14

    2 Step
    Increased strength and decreased heat generation.

    Mixing
    Higher mileage and improved fuel efficiency.

    Stiffness Control Contour Technology (SCCT)

    SCCT is designed for constant profile deformation. If the casing profile cannot be kept constant, the internal force on the casing will be concentrated on a specific point (belt edge or turned up casing edge). In contrast, SCCT controls the dispersion of internal forces for better durability.

    Hankook Tire & Technology-Tires-Smart-Smart Flex-DL51-Features-image15

    SCCT allows Hankook Tire to develop tires by balancing optimum stiffness with the contact shape. The benefits of this technology are improved performance, safety, cornering, braking and durability.
