Maximizing Rubber Performance: The Essential Role of High Forces DMA GABO EPLEXOR 500 N in Tire Testing

For the automobile tyre business to ensure efficiency and safety on the road, rubber compound performance and durability must be optimized. A valuable instrument for material testing, the High Forces DMA GABO EPLEXOR 500 N provides accurate information on the characteristics of materials under many circumstances. It is an essential part of the tire development process because of its sophisticated capabilities, which enable tire makers to optimize rubber formulas for better tire performance.

The Netzsch’s DMA provides various measurement modes for your material such as tension, 3-point bending, compression/penetration, cantilever and shear. One of the most notable aspects of the DMA GABO EPLEXOR 500 N is its capacity to conduct temperature sweeps, which yields important information about the temperature-dependent behavior of rubber materials. Key factors tested are Glass Transition Temperature (Tg), Tan Delta, and High G’ (Storage Modulus).

How the DMA measurement could improve and fine tune tire materials to meet performance requirements

• Glass Transition Temperature (Tg): Low Tg indicates low abrasion, contributing to tire longevity. High Tg enhances wet grip, improving safety in wet conditions.
• Tan Delta: A low Tan Delta at 60°C results in low rolling resistance, which is crucial for improving fuel efficiency. A high Tan Delta at 0°C enhances wet grip, critical for safety on wet roads.

• High G' (Storage Modulus): Improves handling and cornering performance, ensuring that tires remain stable during sharp turns and high-speed maneuvers.
