TPU tire chains durable enough to be driven hundreds of miles

Alliance Polymers & Services, LLC (APS) announced that it supplies materials and technical molding resource for the manufacture of the patented GoClaws, durable snow chains for cars, trucks, RVs, and snowmobiles supplied by Advanced Traction Systems.

The GoClaws are said to be extremely durable. In recent tests by ATS, even after being driven on snow-covered AND dry pavement more than 300 miles, the plastic tire chains continued to perform and showed little, if any, signs of wear, said Alliance Polymers.

APS and Advanced Traction Systems said that some of the largest and most prominent distribution and retail outlets in the US are currently testing and considering selling the new products.

Alliance Polymers & Services is a TPE & TPU warehousing, distribution, shipping and technical service organization based in Romulus, MI, USA. It currently markets and supports Polymax Maxelast TPEs and BASF Elastollan TPUs.   APS is owned and operated by Roger J. Huarng, Stephane Morin and Ron Sheu, formerly with BASF.
