Nynas oils contribute to safe and efficient winter tyres

Tyres made with Nynas oils provide low rolling resistance, reducing energy losses and fuel consumption, while maintaining wet grip for improved control on snow and ice.

Nynas naphthenic tyre oils are renowned for their positive contribution to rolling resistance - the force resisting motion when a body rolls on a surface – helping drivers conserve energy and fuel, and contributing to a more efficient drive.

Reduced rolling resistance, resulting in improved fuel economy and a reduction of CO2 emissions, is a key requirement which is expected to shape the industry going forward.

“Tyres play an increasingly significant role as the fuel efficiency of cars is broken down into components. Through the benefits they offer, our oils add sustainable value for both manufacturers and drivers themselves,’’ says Dr. Herbert Fruhmann, Market Manager for Tyres.

With cold weather conditions impacting roads in many countries at this time of the year, it is critical that tyres made with Nynas oils do not compromise on other important technical properties.

“Our NYTEX® tyre oil range is specially designed to be flexible at low temperatures, while offering durability and reliability, so that drivers can reach their destination safely,’’ adds Dr. Fruhmann.

It is the wax-free nature of naphthenic oils which makes them ideal when used as a tool for winter tyre formulations. Enabling retention of rubber elasticity and dynamic stiffness in winter conditions, naphthenic oils also improve traction, which is a key performance criterion for winter tyres.

Nynas takes the direction towards a sustainable future

On 6 and 7 December, leading representatives from the Danish road and transport sector will gather in the port city of Nyborg to conduct this year's edition of the industry meeting, Vejforum. Among the participants are both state and municipal road authorities, as well as contractors, suppliers and researchers.

Successful launch

Following a successful launch, the final details are now being refined before Nynas' new tanker vessel can be put into operation with a focus on resource efficiency, environmental responsibility, and logistical reliability.

Getting the scope of it

As the need to cut emissions of greenhouse gas is becoming more urgent, companies must look beyond their direct climate impact. From 2025, organisations that operate in Europe will be required to report their indirect – so-called Scope 3 – emissions.
