  • Patent number: 8196627
    Abstract: A tire includes at least one outer structural element, wherein the at least one outer structural element is at least partially coated by at least one coating layer including a crosslinked composition obtained by reacting: (a) at least one polysulfide polymer; (b) at least one thermoplastic polymer having at least one hydroxyl group; with (c) at least one polyisocyanate. Preferably, the at least one structural element is at least one of the tire sidewalls.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8151848
    Abstract: A tire includes at least one outer structural element, wherein the at least one outer structural element is at least partially coated by at least one colored coating layer including a colored composition including (a) 5% by weight to 50% by weight with respect to the total weight of the dry colored composition, of at least one crosslinked polymeric compound obtained by reacting (a1) at least one thermoplastic polyurethane with (a2) at least one polyisocyanate; (b) 10% by weight to 80% by weight with respect to the total weight of the dry colored composition, of at least one thermoplastic polymeric compound having a glass transition temperature higher than or equal to 20° C., and (c) 3% by weight to 50% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the dry colored composition, of at least one coloring agent. Preferably, the at least one structural element is at least one of the tire sidewalls.

  • Patent number: 7196129
    Abstract: A tire for vehicles includes a tread having a vulcanized polymeric base including at least one reinforcing filler dispersed in the polymeric base; an amount of extractable residue of at least one vulcanization accelerator, containing at least one carbon atom bound to at least two sulfur atoms, from 0.5% to 1.8% by weight based on a total weight of the tread; an amount of at least one activator, expressed as equivalents of zinc oxide, not higher than 2% by weight based on the total weight of the tread; and an amount of combined sulfur lower than 2.5% by weight based on the total weight of the tread. A tread for vehicle tires, a vulcanizable rubber composition for the manufacture of such a tread, and a vulcanizing system, all related to the tire for vehicles, are also disclosed.
