On May 26, it was reported that Yanggu Huatai is working closely with Nanjing University of Technology to jointly develop new products such as lignin-based rubber additives in an effort to solve the technical problems of biomass waste utilization. This innovative measure indicates that the new bio-based rubber additive industry is about to usher in rapid development.

The company has jointly established the "National Rubber Additives Engineering Technology Research Center-National Biochemical Engineering Technology Research Center Joint R & D Center" to develop biobased sustainable materials and actively respond to the global call for green, low-carbon, and sustainable development. Nanjing University of Technology is the first in China to engage in research on biomass resources, and its research on green industrialization has achieved remarkable results. Yanggu Huatai keeps up with the pulse of the market and relies on its rich experience in chemical product production to carry out in-depth cooperative research and development with Nanjing University of Technology in the field of biobased.

According to the Carbon Black Industry Network, the application of lignin as a rubber functional additive in the rubber industry is still an industry precedent. However, Yanggu Huatai is striving to expand the application scope of lignin through unremitting scientific and technological innovation to promote the development of biobased materials and thus help industrial upgrading. It is predicted that in the next five years, lignin-based rubber additives are expected to replace 20% of traditional rubber additives and bulk raw materials, with a potential market size of 30 billion yuan. This prospect has attracted much attention from inside and outside the industry.

This technical research will not only help Yanggu Huatai improve its product competitiveness, but will also have a profound impact on the green transformation of the entire tire industry chain. The widespread application of biobased materials will inject new vitality into the sustainable development of the industry. The cooperation between Yanggu Huatai and Nanjing University of Technology has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for progress in this field.
