Tire Technology Expo 2024: MICHELIN draft
A new step forward with the development of a system for analyzing small particles and presentation of the first research results to the scientific community and industry.
Improving knowledge of tire and road wear particles to improve action: a complementary approach to the Euro7 standard.
For the last 20 years, Michelin has been committed to reducing tire abrasion and to research on wear particles.
A new step forward and presentation of the first research results to the scientific community and industry.
With a wish to reduce tire abrasion and deepen knowledge in this field, Michelin has developed a system for analyzing small, emitted particles, "SAMPLE”. This captures, sorts, counts and characterizes particles close up to tires with unequalled precision and reproducibility. This analysis system, presented at Tire Technology, opens the way to tires with wear particles totally bio-assimilable by nature.
There are questions being raised about tire and road wear particles. This is why it is essential to use reliable, reproducible and standardized measurements and will be a fundamental step in better understanding the environmental impact of these wear particles to innovate and devise new solutions.
