Devulcanization is the process which – by breaking the crosslinks between chains – a vulcanized rubber is turned into a new plastomeric material, thus making it re-processable and recyclable. Our patented thermo-mechanical process - applied to the extrusion lines we manufacture - is a 100% green approach that does not involve the use of devulcanizing additives or solvents. Through our devulcanization process, it is possible to recycle a wide range of materials, including: • ELTs including car, truck and Off-road vehicles tires • ACM • BR • EPDM • FKM • IIR • IR • NR • Q • SBR From chemical and rheological analysis carried out on devulcanized materials, it has been found that the devulcanization yield can reach 50-90%, according to the formulation and the process parameters. Devulcanized material can be reused in the same original application, from 15 to 50% mixed with the virgin rubber while maintaining the desired mechanical properties. For different final applications, it is possible to use devulcanized rubber in a blend with percentages higher than 50%.
