Hemicellulose based products

As the second most abundant renewable carbon source on earth after cellulose, lignin has drawn significant attention for its industrial application potential. It has been confirmed that lignin can be used in the production of resins, adhesives, fillers, and polymer modifiers. However, due to the complex structure of lignin, technical challenges remain in extracting special chemicals with specific properties.

In the tire manufacturing industry, companies are committed to improving tire rolling resistance to reduce vehicle fuel consumption and enhance the environmental competitiveness of their products. Although carbon black, a traditional filler for tires, has been widely used as a rubber reinforcing agent, its production process is energy-intensive and emits a large amount of greenhouse gases. Against this backdrop, using lignin as a reinforcing filler and vulcanizing agent to replace carbon black in tires has emerged as a promising green solution. International tire enterprises such as Pirelli and Goodyear started exploring related applications as early as a decade ago.

Through in-situ interface modification technology, using inexpensive biomass renewable materials as green reinforcing fillers can achieve more than 40% replacement of carbon black fillers with lignin. This technology not only significantly reduces the cost of rubber products, but the modified material also demonstrates better anti-aging and high-temperature oil resistance than pure carbon black fillers, while having self-healing functions. The partial replacement of traditional rubber reinforcing agents with lignin rubber reinforcing agents not only improves the utilization rate of biomass resources and aligns with the global carbon emission reduction trend, but also has the advantages of broad market demand and remarkable cost advantages.
