Silicone treatment could offer a low-cost, efficient recovery of SBR rubber materials. The process needs refinement and research into new markets
Canadian University Tackles Rubber Recovery from Car Tyres
Laboratory testing at Brook Research Group at McMaster University, an efficient and mild process has been developed that uses silicone chemistry to break the sulphur to sulphur bonds that create vulcanised rubber. The silicones selectively cut the sulphur-sulphur connections, leaving only organic chains that can be easily isolated and reused to create new products. This process, originally ...
