A trusted solution for global manufacturers working with modern tire formulations, Nynas naphthenic rubber oils are renowned for their positive contribution to rolling resistance, without compromising on other technical properties. 
 
Due to their wax-free nature, naphthenic oils demonstrate excellent low temperature properties and are ideal when used as a tool for winter tire formulations. Enabling retention of rubber elasticity and dynamic stiffness in cold conditions, naphthenic oils also improve traction, which is a key performance criterion for winter tires.
 
The new European tire label features a separate indicator for winter tires, addressing the need for standardized minimum requirements for cold climate performance. While using winter tires has been mandatory in several European countries for many years, demand is also growing in Asia, with the Chinese, Japanese and Korean markets leading the development.
 
For companies wanting to develop their winter tire portfolio further, the NYTEX® range of tire oils offers an excellent additional toolbox, coming with all the benefits of working with Nynas, such as global availability, supply reliability, excellent technical support and trusted quality.
