Pirelli has eliminated aromatic oils from the new Cinturato's compounds, two years ahead of the impending EU Directive. Aromatic oils are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in tyres in the form of free oils and oil-extended polymers. They contribute to the composition of particulate, and are potentially damaging to human health. For the new Cinturato, Pirelli researchers have studied new polymers and new procedures for making the compound that have no effect on the tyre's performance and safety specifications.
