FOM-IC: compound mastery

When talking about the performance of modern tyres, the discussion often focuses on compounds.
Above all, the advent of silica clearly improved adherence under all operating conditions, a fundamental factor for winter tyres as well as summer tyres. So, all you have to do is increase the silica, right? Absolutely not, since that would reduce the other types of performance. It’s here that Marangoni research has achieved an important result thanks to the use of FOM-IC (Filler Optimised Mixture - Improved Compound): an exclusive technology that optimises the interaction between polymer and filler (silica and carbon black) inside the compound.

The result is a significant increase in adherence on all road surfaces, therefore creating a unique feeling of driving control and safety. Proof that, as always, the importance of materials is surpassed by the ability to use them in the best possible manner: in other words, technology.
