RUBBER POWDER
[EIRI/EDPR/2023] J.C.926US$
INTRODUCTION
By the application of heat and chemical agents followed by intense mechanical working to ground vulcanized scrap or worn out rubber tires, tubes and waste rubber articles a substantial regeneration on devulcanisation of the rubber compound to its original plastic state is effected, thus permitting the product to be compounded, processed and revulcanised. There are several types of rubber powder made in different ways. They may be lightly vulcanized and may contain appreciable quantities of anti-agglomerating agents to prevent massing on storage. The trend now-a-days is towards automation in production of rubber goods during handling, mixing and processing. The powder form of rubber is very easy to be handled. The advantages of powder processing have been recognized and include (a) rapid and inexpensive mixing; (b) flexibility in compounding. Powder handling equipments are used in plastics industry also; hence those equipments can be utilised for compounding of powdered rubber before actual processing; thus integration of the two industries can be done without much extra capital outlay.
Rubber powder from used tyres is manufactured by simple cutting, slicing and grinding, finally the product is devulcanised using heat and chemicals and then partially revulcanised and compounded according to consumers requirements.
The plant & machinery, raw materials are indigenously available.
The production process is also not more complicated, demand can also be estimated to be good.
