Our Conference Speakers

Replacing Carbon Black and Other Fossil-Based Components with Microfibrillated Cellulose - A Novel Premix Material for the Tire Industry

 

At Tire Technology Expo 2026, two members of our team will join the conference program as guest speakers to present validated findings on replacing carbon black and other fossil-based raw materials with Nemus, a novel premix solution for tire compounds. The presentation will demonstrate the technical performance of this microfibrillated cellulose–based premix across multiple tire applications and define the next steps toward industrial-scale implementation.

What the Audience Will Learn

  • How Nemus enables renewable microfibrillated cellulose integration into tire manufacturing.
  • Why process innovation is critical for sustainable material adoption in tires.
  • Key technical challenges and solutions for mixing cellulose with rubber.
  • Environmental and performance benefits of replacing fossil-based fillers with Nemus.
  • Future prospects and industrialization roadmap for Nemus technology.
