Pyrum Innovations AG has introduced new product names for its raw materials with immediate effect, where the thermolysis oil will in future be listed as ThermoTireOil (TTO) and recovered Carbon Black (rCB) will be replaced with ThermoTireBlack (TTB)
By changing product names, Pyrum wants to strengthen its brand identity and emphasise the independence and quality of its products. The rCB and thermolysis oil available on the market do not consistently have the same specifications. For example, rCB does not consist solely of recovered carbon black but also contains inorganic additives from the tyres, resulting in different mixtures that are not suitable for all applications.
Pyrum TTO and TTB are produced using the company’s proprietary, patented thermolysis process and feature a precisely defined mixing ratio and specific properties that distinguish them from other products on the market and therefore require a clear designation.
Pascal Klein, CEO of Pyrum Innovations AG: “Our products are the result of years of development and intensive research. With the new designations TTO and TTB for our oil and our rCB, we make it clear that these are unique materials obtained from our unique thermolysis process.”
The products are manufactured in the Pyrum thermolysis plant, in which rubber from end-of-life tyres is broken down and returned to its basic components. TTB is already used in series production in tyres and is also continuously receiving approvals for further applications, including conveyor belts, seals, as well as coatings and paints. TTO serves as a sustainable raw material for the production of a wide range of polymers, such as polyamides for clothing, plastic components such as car door handles, or even food packaging.
