On January 30, 2026, SFT Company briefly interpreted the application value of ultra-high structure (VHS) carbon black in tire formulations based on ASTM D1765 standard and a 2025 global industrial application report.

What Are the Basic Requirements of EU REACH Certification for Rubber Industrial Raw Materials?
January 21, 2026

EU REACH Certification serves as the core access threshold for rubber industrial raw materials (including natural rubber, synthetic rubber (BR), cord fabric, and tire steel wire) entering the EU market, covering the entire process of substance registration, hazardous substance restrictions, and compliance declarations.

Performance Breakthrough! SBR Emerges as Hardcore Preferred Material for Passenger Car Tires & Industrial Hoses
January 13, 2026

Styrene - Butadiene Rubber (SBR) - short for styrene-butadiene copolymer–has become indispensable for passenger car tire manufacturing and an ideal choice for industrial hose production. Its superior properties (wear resistance, heat resistance, anti-aging, etc.) provide critical material support for product upgrading and quality improvement in these two key sectors.

Multifunctional Cord Fabric: The Preferred Shared Material for Tire Frameworks and Conveyor Belt Core Layers
January 09, 2026

As a high-performance framework material with core properties including high strength, fatigue resistance, and structural stability, cord fabric accounts for a crucial 10% to 15% proportion in tire manufacturing, serving as the "invisible framework" supporting tire performance. Meanwhile, it demonstrates excellent adaptability in the conveyor belt sector, acting as the core material for belt cores to ensure efficient and stable material transportation. Its cross-industry application characteristics make it a preferred shared material, empowering the safe operation of the automotive industry and the efficient operation of the logistics and transportation sector.

Will the rubber industry's exports continue to grow in 2025? Data on tires and natural rubber draw attention?
December 24, 2025

The latest data from the General Administration of Customs shows that from January to November 2025, China's cumulative export volume of rubber tires reached 8.83 million tons, up 3.7% year-on-year. The cumulative export value reached 153.691 billion yuan, increasing by 2.5% year-on-year. This indicates that China's rubber industry has demonstrated strong competitiveness and development resilience in the complex international environment.
