Tyromer™ is a tire derived polymer made 100% from scrap tires, through our patented process. Tyromer is a high quality, versatile recycled rubber product that has physical properties and strength close to virgin rubber. It is an environmentally friendly, safe product which can be used as a rubber substitute, or blended with natural and synthetic rubbers as well as plastic like polypropylene. Used as a replacement for synthetic rubber, tyromer offers a reduction in the use of non-renewable petroleum-based resources. Most significantly, tyromer can be used for re-treading tires to provide manufacturers with an ideal product life cycle management solution.
Tyromer represents a first in the industry and offers:
- High tensile strength
- High elongation
- Excellent processability
