Traditional bicycle pneumatic tire material is vulcanized rubber material, with good wear resistance, plus the pneumatic tire design, good shock absorption effect, and has always been the first of bicycle tires. However, pneumatic tires are prone to blow-out when they come into contact with sharp objects, resulting in the inability to continue riding. The tires are vulcanized rubber materials, which are not easy to recycle, resulting in waste of resources. With the rapid development of bicycle sharing in recent years, this kind of pneumatic tire is no longer suitable for explosive tires. Pneumatic tires can solve this problem and are easy to replace and maintain. Localities are rushing to develop pneumatic tire materials.
cycling experience with inflatable tires is easy and fast. In order to avoid regular inflating maintenance and management, it is necessary to prevent thorn tires, most public bicycles use solid tires. Due to the different materials of solid tires, the experience varies greatly, so many tire and material suppliers are now making efforts in this area.
Currently, the materials used in pneumatic tires are divided into two categories. One is a special material called micro-closed-cell micro-foaming polymer resin. It is similar to the sole materials of some sports shoes, and currently accounts for 60%. The materials used in the super hard solid explosion-proof tires used in Mobike are this foaming material. Because the material is too hard and lacks elasticity, it leads to poor earthquake resistance, so it has a bad reputation in the market. Another type of material used for pneumatic tires is TPE, which is considered to be a better alternative to the former foaming material. The second generation of Mobike Lite Light Bike and Xiaoming Bike both use a hole-proof solid tire. It cleverly adopts a honeycomb round hole structure to ensure the softness of the tire, solve the problem of cushioning, and significantly improve the shock absorption effect. The TPE tires reduce the weight of the car body, make riding more comfortable, and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the tire.
Thermoplastic elastomer tpe material feels comfortable and has adjustable hardness, can be recycled and recycled twice, and has the high resilience of rubber. It is called the second generation rubber, but the tpe material itself has poor wear resistance and cannot meet the requirements of inflatable tires. There are usually two ways to improve TPE wear resistance: one vulcanizes the TPE material, but it will sacrifice the processing properties of the TPE material, which does not solve the recycling problem of traditional vulcanized rubber, and the cost is higher than that of traditional vulcanized rubber; the other is by adding wear resistance additives.
shared bicycle became popular all over the world as soon as it was launched. That is, after the shared bicycle, a tire without inflatable bicycle was launched and was very popular in the European and American markets. It is understood that it adopts the "hollow reinforcement rib" design and uses non-toxic and environmentally friendly TPE elastomer material. It has many advantages such as good buffering, no fear of tamping, no inflation, and recyclable reuse. It is a "green and environmentally friendly" product advocated by the country. The TPE specially developed by Lien TPE manufacturer for bicycle tires has excellent weather resistance and chemical resistance, making its application on tires better than traditional thermoset rubber. The tires made by Juye TPE can still maintain good softness and high resilience after exposure to sunlight, and can provide environmental testing reports.
