INMETRO Ordinance Nº 544 (Oct 25, 2012)
Related to European Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006

As of October 25, 2016 new tires should be
manufactured and imported only in accordance with
the set requirements and registered at INMETRO.
In addition to tire labeling, new requirements are set
to limit polyaromatic hydrocabons (PAHs) in tires:
• Bay protons content of tire compound:
- < 0.35 %, according to standard ISO 21461
• PAHs in process and extender oils:
- max. 1 ppm BaP
- max. 10 ppm of sum of all 8 PAHs

EU Commission Regulation 2015/326
New amendment of Annex XVII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (REACH)

Publication date: 2 March 2015
In force since: 23 March 2016
‘The standard EN 16143:2013* shall be used as the test method for
demonstrating conformity with the limits referred to in the first subparagraph:
[…] Extender oils shall not be placed on the market, or used for the
production of tyres or parts of tyres if they contain:
— more than 1 mg/kg (0,0001 % by weight) BaP, or,
— more than 10 mg/kg (0,001 % by weight) of the sum of all listed PAHs.
From 24 September 2016 it is not anymore allowed to use the standard IP
346:1998** to proof compliance.

Summary
New requirements in Brazil to limit polyaromatic hydrocabons (PAHs) in tires

All Nynas tire oils comply with the stipulated limits in Brazil and Europe
Oil incorporation time is shorter with Nytex 4700 and Nytex 840, enabling
shortening of mixing cycles
Only minor differences between the oils in thermal ageing test
Nytex grades display a better abrasion resistance than Oil-BRA; especially
good performance of Nytex 840
Nytex 840 and Nytex 4700 show excellent dynamic mechanical behavior and
allow improving the tire performance triangle.
