How
can we help?
To ensure safety and quality in the automotive industry, testing the characteristics of rubber is paramount. Yerzley dynamic testing results are an important component. Results can be used to:
- improve rolling resistance of various compounds of rubber for tread applications in tires, lowering vehicle energy consumption
- create compounds that result in stronger tire sidewalls to optimize performance
- increase tread wear resistance to avoid early or premature tire wear
- improve tire traction to provide the necessary skid resistance
- ensure a relatively low Tg (i.e., glass transition temperature) of the tire to prevent failure in extremely cold weather
Stats & Charts
Automotive engineers and designers use test results to ensure that their formulations will provide the best quality and highest safety standards.

benefits
Engine designers use test results to create engine mounts that will absorb vibration energy much more efficiently, resulting in a smoother ride.
Auto designers can use test results to design windshield wipers correctly for better and long-term wiping function, despite changes in weather or temperature changes.
The automotive aftermarket is the secondary market of the automotive industry. Although a secondary market, it is still concerned with safety and reliability. Replacement parts are automotive parts built or remanufactured to replace OE parts as they become worn or damaged.
Designers use test results to design automotive door seals for better soundproofing and longevity.
