What is rubber reclaiming agent?

Rubber Reclaiming Agent used for braking the crossed linkage between sulfur elements & rubber elements on high temperature & pressure, resulting the high tensile and reduced the Mooney of Reclaimed Rubber produced for re-manufacturing of rubber products whether natural rubber or synthetic rubber can be reclaimed by using of Rubber Reclaiming Agent.

How is rubber reclaimed?

The rubber powder was reclaimed with oil and chemical agents such as zinc chloride or pentachlorothiophenol in addition to the mechanical process. This kind of process is referred as mechano-chemical reclaiming process. They also reported that 10–30% of the reclaimed rubber could be mixed with virgin rubber without affecting essential properties.

Are chemicals a powerful tool for devulcanisation and rubber reclaiming?

Chemicals are also powerful tools to achieve devulcanisation and rubber reclaiming. Among the mentioned compounds, sulfur containing chemicals are major compounds of devulcanisation processes since the beginning (Joseph et al., 2015).

Are reclaimed rubber revulcanisates a devulcanising agent?

Moreover, these devulcanising agent leads to reclaimed rubber revulcanisates with similar properties to reclaimed rubber from microwave and thermo-mechanical processes (Zanchet et al. 2009, 2012; Formela and Cysewska, 2014).

What are the benefits of reclaiming rubber?

By reclaiming rubber, conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental footprint associated with raw rubber processing, which involves extensive land use and can lead to biodiversity loss. DE vulcanization: This method involves breaking down the sulfur bonds in vulcanized rubber, allowing it to be remolded and reused.

What are the additives in rubber?

These additives include antioxidants, antiozonants, extender oils and waxes (Shulman, 2011; Ghosh et al., 2003). Rubber properties are also improved by small amount of compounds like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, etc. (Shulman, 2011; Evans and Evans, 2006; Lindenmuth, 2006).
