Patented ReCo™ Technology
In 2016, while traveling across the United States, Matthew J. Brax experienced firsthand the frustrations and safety risks associated with tire failures. Determined to find a better solution, he began exploring alternatives to conventional tire design.
Inspiration struck from an unlikely source—a simple storage shelf that demonstrated how lightweight structures could provide remarkable strength and flexibility. Combined with lessons from structural engineering history, including the innovative framework concepts that transformed modern skyscrapers after the Great Chicago Fire, the idea for a new type of tire began to take shape.
Over the following years, Matthew dedicated himself to research, design, and prototyping, ultimately developing the foundation for MolAct Tires and its patented ReCo™ Technology. Today, that vision continues to drive the development of safer, smarter, and more resilient tire systems for the future of transportation.

ReCo Technology (Reactively Combined Technology) is a versatile framework capable of implementing a range of capabilities.
MolAct Tires are powered by ReCo™ (Reactive Combined Technology), a breakthrough tire architecture designed to address one of transportation’s most persistent safety challenges: tire failure.
Every year, tire-related incidents contribute to thousands of crashes, hundreds of fatalities, and millions of roadside emergencies. In the United States alone, an estimated 220 million flat tires occur annually, while underinflation remains a leading contributor to blowouts and tire failures.
Unlike conventional tires that rely almost entirely on air pressure for structural support, MolAct’s advanced ReCo™ architecture is designed to help maintain structural integrity, manage heat buildup, and improve resilience under puncture and extreme operating conditions. Integrated pressure monitoring supports TPMS compatibility, enabling smarter maintenance and improved safety awareness.
Why It Matters
- Tire failures contribute to approximately 11,000 crashes and more than 500 fatalities annually.
- Underinflation is associated with the vast majority of tire failures.
- Tire blowouts create dangerous roadside hazards, vehicle instability, and costly downtime for drivers and fleets.
The MolAct Advantage
- Enhanced puncture resilience
- Improved heat management
- TPMS-enabled tire health monitoring
- Reduced roadside failures and downtime
- Designed for commercial fleets, emergency vehicles, defense, aviation, and future mobility platforms
Beyond safety, MolAct is committed to sustainability. More than 1 billion tires reach end-of-life globally each year, creating significant environmental challenges including waste accumulation, micro-particle pollution, and fire hazards. By extending tire life and reducing failure rates, MolAct aims to improve both transportation safety and environmental outcomes.
Our Vision
To create the world’s safest, smartest, and most resilient tire platform—reducing preventable accidents, improving mobility, and transforming how vehicles operate on Earth and beyond.
MolAct (Molecularly Active) Tires, powered by patented ReCo™ (Reactively Combined) Technology, represent a breakthrough in resilient tire design. Engineered with advanced materials and a patented structural architecture, MolAct is designed to address one of transportation’s most persistent challenges: tire failures caused by punctures, heat, and extreme operating conditions.
Through extensive research, development, and iterative testing, we have identified and validated a portfolio of high-performance materials—including proven polymers currently used in demanding mobility applications—and integrated them into a scalable tire system designed for enhanced durability, safety, and performance.
Our patented technology provides a foundation for multiple transportation sectors, including commercial fleets, emergency response vehicles, defense applications, autonomous systems, aviation, and future mobility platforms.
To accelerate development and validate the technology under real-world operating conditions, MolAct is seeking strategic funding to support:
- Advanced prototype development
- Production-grade injection mold tooling
- Fabrication of full-scale ReCo™ structural assemblies
- High-speed performance testing
- Durability and extreme-environment validation
- Commercialization readiness activities
These investments will enable MolAct to transition from prototype validation to full-scale testing, bringing a new generation of safer, smarter, and more resilient tire technology closer to market.
Existing Technology
While MolAct Tires and ReCo™ Technology can incorporate advanced materials and engineered structures, they are also designed to integrate with existing industry tools, testing methods, monitoring systems, and maintenance practices. The technology has been refined through multiple prototype generations, validating key design principles and advancing the development of a more resilient tire platform.
By reducing rolling resistance, mitigating heat buildup, and maintaining operational capability under puncture and low-pressure conditions, MolAct aims to redefine the future of tire performance, safety, and reliability.
For more than two decades, federal regulations have required most passenger vehicles to be equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Unlike traditional airless tire concepts that eliminate pressure monitoring altogether, MolAct’s hybrid architecture is designed to remain compatible with TPMS and existing vehicle safety systems while providing enhanced resilience and operational continuity.
This unique combination of structural durability, intelligent monitoring, and compatibility with current transportation infrastructure positions MolAct as a next-generation solution for commercial fleets, emergency response vehicles, defense applications, and future mobility platforms.
Durability
Overall, the adoption of airless capable tires for military applications enhances the operational effectiveness, survivability, and sustainability of military vehicles, contributing to mission success across a diverse range of operational environments.
