AKIN Solutions offers a fundamentally different approach to tire manufacturing optimization compared to traditional methodologies used by target customers. While current impact, fatigue and wear tests rely on empirical testing and trial-and-error approaches, our molecular imaging approach utilizes advanced MSI technology to provide precise molecular-level insights into tire compositions. This analysis is applicable to many key ingredients of tire compounds, including natural and synthetic polymers, antiozonants, and other additives.

The ability to accurately optimize tire formulations reduces the need for costly empirical testing and shortens development cycles, resulting in faster time-to-market, increased competitiveness and market differentiation.

We are currently working with multiple tire manufacturers on development of molecular imaging protocols specifically tailored to their R&D needs. If you're interested in the applications in this field and would like to learn more feel free to contact us!
