Reclaim Rubber
Reclaimed rubber is recycled rubber that has undergone devulcanization—a process that breaks the cross-links formed during vulcanization—restoring the material’s flexibility and workability for reuse in manufacturing.
This eco-friendly and cost-effective material can serve as a substitute for virgin rubber in a wide range of applications, including tires, hoses, belts, and other rubber-based products.
Advantages of using Reclaim Rubber
Reclaimed rubber can be customized to meet specific requirements. Through processing and treatment, it can be engineered to achieve desired physical properties such as hardness and tensile strength, making it adaptable to a wide range of product specifications.
Incorporating reclaimed rubber into rubber products helps reduce dependence on virgin rubber, thereby conserving natural resources and lowering the energy consumption associated with traditional rubber production.
Reclaimed rubber is generally more cost-effective than virgin rubber. Its use can significantly reduce production costs for rubber-based industries—such as tire manufacturing—making products more affordable for manufacturers.
Uses of Reclaim Rubber
Reclaim rubber is primarily used in producing mechanical rubber goods. It is also used in tyres, inner tubes, tyre lining, tyre repair, retreading, general moulding, belting, adhesives, mastics, footwear, sheeting, matting, belting, cable bedding compound, and sound reduction.
