Silica is divided into precipitated silica and fumed silica, which are widely used in rubber products such as tires, tapes, rubber hoses, rubber shoes, wires and cables. Silica and silane coupling agents are used in tire tread rubber, which can improve the wear resistance and wet skid resistance of tires while reducing the rolling resistance of tires. The tensile strength, tear strength, wear resistance, etc. of rubber compounds using silica are improved, It has more advantages in transparent and colored rubber products. With the enhancement of people's environmental awareness, the development of tire industry and the continuous improvement of the quality of silica, its application scope will be further expanded.

Since 1948, white carbon black has been produced and used in the rubber industry as a filler. By the 1980s, about 67% of precipitated white carbon black in the world was used in the rubber industry, of which 45% was used in footwear, 16% in tires, and 6% in other rubber products. Since the French Michelin Company announced to vigorously carry out the research on "green tires" in 1991, major tire companies in Europe, the United States and Japan have accelerated the pace of development. "Green tire" has become the mainstream of tire industry development in the 21st century. White carbon black can be used in high proportion or completely replace carbon black as a reinforcing agent to produce "green tire". In 1999, it was the standard practice for Europe to use white carbon black in the original car tire tread, and the amount of white carbon black in the original car tire tread has reached 100000 tons. Affected by the pressure of fuel tax, in order to reduce fuel consumption, automobile manufacturers actively develop "green tires" with low rolling resistance and low fuel consumption.   

Non black rubber products include rubber shoes, balls, toys, etc., too many.
