End-of-life tire derived product

Rubber powder or granulates

Description

Rubber particules are compressed (alone or in combination with a polyurethane binder) in a mould with the desired shape. The applied pressure can vary, leading to different porosities and densities, depending on the final application.

Examples

• Production of rubber tiles
• Production of antischock paving (video)
• Production of gutter filters:

Existing products using this technology

• Acoustic mat
• Fenders
• Gutter filter
• Moulded objects
• Playgrounds
• Rail filler block systems
• Synthetic turf

Literature

• Compression Moulding of Rubber Powder from Exhausted Tyres (Lucignano et al., Polymer-Plastics Technology and Engineering,2012)
