Other Reclaimed/Crumb Rubber

Other Reclaimed/Crumb Rubber refers to materials obtained from the recycling of rubber products that are transformed into rubber particles or crumbs after the recycling process. These materials have wide applications in various industries due to their unique properties.

Types of Recycled Rubber

Recycled tires are divided into two main categories:

Tire crumb rubber: This type of rubber crumb is obtained from the recycling of worn tires.
Non-tire crumb rubber: This type of rubber crumb is produced from the recycling of rubber products other than tires, such as belts, hoses, and gaskets.
Properties of Recycled Rubber
Light weight: It weighs very little compared to other filler materials.
Thermal and acoustic insulation: It is very good thermal and acoustic insulation.
Abrasion resistance: It has high abrasion resistance.
Flexibility: It gives flexibility to other materials.
Good adhesion: It has good adhesion to other materials.

Applications of recycled rubber

Construction industry: Production of rubber asphalt, flooring, sound and heat insulation.
Automotive industry: Production of automotive parts such as gaskets, seat covers and flooring.
Sports industry: Production of sports field flooring, mattresses and balls.
Agricultural industry: Production of soil protection coatings.
Energy production industry: Use in the production of alternative fuels.

Advantages of using recycled rubber

Cost reduction: Using recycled materials reduces production costs.
Environmental protection: Reducing the volume of rubber waste and reducing the consumption of raw materials.
Suitable mechanical properties: It has good mechanical properties and can be used as a filler in many applications.
Recyclability: This material can also be recycled.
