Reclaim Rubber

Although reclaim rubber does not have the same properties as virgin rubber, it does have tremendous opportunities in tire and non-tire applications. This price stable alternative hydrocarbon offers many advantages which include being used as a process aid, ensuring shorter mixing times, and enabling higher productivity.
Performance
Faster Mixing Cycle (i.e. less masticating with easy incorporation of fillers)
Improved extrusion rate (up to 5- 10%)
Improved extrusion quality with better dimensional control
Reduction in power consumption due to less nerve of the compound with faster mixing and extrusion
Minimum increase on air permeability as compared to other grades of reclaim rubber
Virtually no reduction in hot air aging properties
Fast and uniform calendaring & extrusion
Additional absorption of filling materials and softeners
Improves tackiness and holds it over a broader range of temperatures
Low swelling and shrinkage on extrusion and calendaring
Minimizes blistering in the molding process
Low volume cost
