Research demonstrates similar glass transition temperature in rubber compounds with bio-based plasticizers, suggesting potential for sustainability.

The study shows that a blend of Hexamoll DINCH and Escorez 5300 can achieve a similar glass transition temperature as TDAE.
A 50/50 blend maintained a Tg of −19 °C, indicating effective performance in comparison to petroleum-based alternatives.
Curing characteristics and rolling resistance remain comparable, but slight differences in wear resistance were noted.
This work highlights the feasibility of enhancing sustainability in the tire industry while maintaining optimal performance.

Elburg et al. (2025) studied this question.
