The Story
The story of MICHELIN ResiCare starts in 2008. At that time, David, a researcher in the field of adhesion with the Michelin group, identifies formalin and resorcinol substitution pathways in RFL (resorcinol formaldehyde latex) glues. After 10 years of R&D, a new resin dedicated to textile reinforcement in tires finally saw the light. In 2016, the first tests are conducted with the new technology. Convinced by the excellent results, Michelin wants to value the resin in tires and other applications. At that point, Quentin joins David on the adventure and together they set up MICHELIN ResiCare. With a strong expertise in adhesion, MICHELIN ResiCare continues developing resins for applications such as belts, plywood, insulation... MICHELIN ResiCare is also working on biosourcing some of its monomers. The entity currently employs more than 50 people, working together for a healthier industrial environment.
More than 40 patents have so far been deposited for MICHELIN ResiCare technology.
* No substances that meet the SVHC criteria as defined by ECHA.

IFPEN and ResiCare, leaders in the development of a production process for the non-toxic biobased molecule 5-HMF
As part of a collaboration initiated at the end of 2021, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) and ResiCare, a Michelin Group entity, announce that they have co-developed a process for producing the molecule 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from fructose, particularly used in the manufacture of bio-based resins.
ResiCare: new responsible adhesives find uses “beyond tires”
After four years of technical and industrial development, ResiCare, a Michelin entity specializing in the development and production of high-performance adhesives that are safer to people and the planet, has found an initial commercial outlet “beyond the tire”.
