“NYTEX BIO 6200 offers significant and measurable contributions to sustainability, while not compromising, and in some cases improving, technical performance in tyre and rubber applications,” says Dr Kamyar Alavi, Senior Specialist Nynas Naphthenics.
In addition to the innovative aspect, Dr Alavi believes that NYTEX BIO 6200 also has significant commercial potential.
“The product has been designed and developed to be offered as a real alternative to conventional tyre and rubber process oils, which shows Nynas’ commitment to the market as well as confidence in the commercial potential of the product. ”
Finally, when it comes to sustainability, the contribution to this field is multifaceted.
“NYTEX BIO 6200 ticks many of the important boxes, such as making use of a renewable bio-based feedstock, as well as high efficiency in production, resulting in a drastic lowering of our footprint,” explains Dr Alavi.
