Rubber Devulcanization

Amid growing global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable resource utilization, rubber recycling has become a crucial aspect of managing waste tires and industrial rubber waste.

USEON’s rubber devulcanization equipment utilizes a thermo-mechanical process that applies high temperature and shear forces to selectively break sulfur-sulfur (S-S) and carbon-sulfur (C-S) bonds, while preserving the carbon-carbon (C-C) backbone structure. This process requires no chemical solvents or additives, ensuring an environmentally friendly and sustainable recycling approach.

This technology is applicable to the recycling of various vulcanized rubbers, including Natural Rubber (NR), Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), and Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), and is widely used in the remanufacturing of products such as tires, seals, and shock absorbers.
