We aim to produce solutions that reduce the number of product rejection and that are complying with European limitations.

benefits & environements

recycling-rubber

Rubber recycling

  • Reducing the consumption or natural and synthetic rubber stocks for every new product;
  • Reducing production costs related with raw material and energy consumption (3 or 4 times) in rubber production;
  • Protecting the environment by avoiding rubber products dumping, by preventing from water and air pollution and by minimizing carbon foot print related to rubber production.

cost-saving-rubber

Reactive extrusion

  • A continuous process leading to high efficiency rates;
  • Cost saving : less capital investment is required;
  • Reducing the number of processing steps;
  • Improving material properties: final products have higher quality as thermal stress is minimized and aging resistance is improved.

UE-compliant

For the end user

  • Complying with European limitations in the use of toxic compounds contrary to current recycling methods;
  • Reducing the number of product rejections, due to high quality products;
  • Recycling many different types of rubber wastes and scraps;
  • Saving costs through the recycling used and scrap rubber materials;
  • Dealing with industrial volumes, thus reducing investment costs.

Rubber devulcanization

  • Allowing the achievement of a high quality rubber material which can be included in new material in different percentages;
  • Rending the rubber suitable for being re-formulated and recurred into new rubber articles if it can be carried out without degradation of the rubber.

no-chemicals

Using supercritical CO2

  • Behaves as an upgraded solvent: non residual at the end of treatment, non-toxic, chemically inert, odorless, non-flammable and low critical temperature;
  • High diffusivity close to that of gas which facilitates its penetration into a porous media;
  • Acts with quick reaction times and decreases the temperature needed to devulcanize rubber, thereby reducing the degradation of the elastomeric pattern.
