The value we bring
Bio-based Agri-Pure™ oils
Made from bio-based products
Up to 100% bio-based from a renewable resource.
Improved tire performance
Improved tire performance
Agri-Pure extender oils have a lower Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) than conventional petroleum-based oils, which contributes to better traction, especially in winter conditions.
Agri-Pure products help increase the amount of silica that can be incorporated in the rubber compound and ensure it is uniformly distributed, which helps increase the performance of the tire.
Reduced tire road wear
Reduced tire road wear
The improved abrasion resistance of Agri-Pure can help reduce Tire Road Wear Particles (TRWP), which is hazardous to the environment as well as to human and wildlife health.
Safer manufacturing process
Creates a safer manufacturing process
Agri-Pure products are made from bio-based nonhazardous raw materials, making it safer to use during the manufacturing process*. Agri-Pure products do not have any added hazardous substances like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are known as non-desirable impurities to the tire industry.
What are Agri-Pure extender oils?
Tire extender oils help improve the processability of rubber and function as a plasticizer and lubricant, helping make it easier to manufacture tires.
