  • How to lower the ECO footprint of a tyre

    The environmental impact of tyres comes mainly from their usage, but also to quite some extent from the raw materials. Making more environmentally friendly tyres thus requires using more renewable and recyclable material.

  • New shareholder in Nynas

    Nynas AB confirms that a binding agreement has been signed by an investment vehicle managed by Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP (together with its affiliates and affiliated investment vehicles, “Davidson Kempner”) for the acquisition of the entire equity stake (49.9%) in Nynas from Bitumina Industries Limited. Following completion of the acquisition, Davidson Kempner will be the largest individual shareholder of Nynas.

  • A new refinery landscape

    The overall impact of IMO 2020, Covid-19 and the closure of outdated refineries has increased the benefit of bitumen expertise and specialisation. The question is who will produce bitumen in the future?

  • The UK’s first carbon-neutral pavement

    Using cold recycling technology developed in-house, Aggregate Industries has taken a major step in the direction of more sustainable pavements.

  • Long-term durability

    The durability of bitumen is the focus for a ground-breaking collaboration between Nynas and the French road construction specialist Colas. Rheological testing of age induced cracking takes centre stage.

  • Investing in customer value

    Since 2014, Nynas has had a laboratory at the University of Antwerp. This January the equipment was augmented with a new, advanced rheometer. This makes it possible to conduct all standard rheological tests in a temperature range from -30°C to 200°C. The new rheometer also has an especially high torque, which means that it can exert a high stress on the sample.

  • Golden standard for the Slussen Bridge

    The pavement system for a new bridge includes both asphalt and waterproofing. This makes major demands of quality awareness and the ability to coordinate different technologies.

  • NYTRO® BIO 300X is awarded USDA certification for biobased products

    In addition to being recognised for its ultra-low viscosity, allowing transformers and reactors to operate with better cooling, NYTRO® BIO 300X has also received the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Certified Biobased Product label.

  • Plasticizing rubber after Covid-19

    2020 was a year like no other. Beyond the face masks, social distancing and working from home, the economy took a dive. These unprecedented events coincided with an ongoing restructuring of the refining industry, which will have a lasting effect on the production of tyres and rubber.
