Shared bicycles are an effective short-distance way to get around cities, helping lower carbon emissions and reduce traffic. Shared bicycles must be reliable, cost-efficient and comfortable, but air-filled tires often result in high maintenance costs due to frequent flat tires.

Dow SPECFLEX™ Microcellular Polyurethanes are advanced foams that can be used for airless tires, offering comfort, strength, and durability for a more circular economy. This breakthrough product has been used on 3 million bicycles and can be recycled into new applications thanks to patent-pending novel molecular structures.
