100 million tires made with Michelin ResiCare’s formaldehyde-free araminolic resin – a safer future for tire manufacturing

Michelin ResiCare has reached a major milestone with 100 million tires manufactured using its formaldehyde-free araminolic resin. This plug & play solution offers a safer, high-performance alternative to traditional phenolic resins, enabling smooth integration on existing production lines. Already deployed at scale, it sets a new standard for sustainable tire manufacturing.

Michelin announces the construction of an industrial demonstrator in France for the 5-HMF molecule, an essential component of green chemistry

A global first: Michelin announces the construction of an industrial demonstrator in France for the 5-HMF molecule, an essential component of green chemistry. Investments of EUR 60 million to develop a bio-sourced and non-toxic molecule that can replace ingredients derived from fossil fuels in a wide variety of industrial fields. Already used in the Michelin ResiCare resins, its availability on an industrial scale will allow a potential market of over 40,000 metric tons to open by 2030, through the creation of a European industry. A new demonstration of Michelin’s power to innovate and its ability to develop other ultra-innovative applications beyond the tire.
