In 2006, Michelin’s laboratories embarked on a journey to develop a non-toxic, high-performance resin solution. This ambition gave birth to ResiCare, a dedicated subsidiary to take this innovation accessible to the entire industry, including Michelin’s competitors. The results speak for themselves: over 100 million tires have been manufactured using ResiCare resin, marking a major milestone in sustainable tire production. A plug-and-play innovation, ResiCare resin replaces the resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) component in the traditional RFL (resorcinol formaldehyde latex) solution, enabling manufacturers to maintain adhesion and peel strength, without modifying their existing dipping lines. This approach ensures a smooth transition to safer chemistry, with minimal disruption to production.
