THE MATERIAL'S NEXT CHAPTER
A new route for recovered material

It starts with end-of-life tyres.

Waste tyres provide the feedstock for this recovered material, opening another route back into industrial use.

Recovering the carbon-rich material.

Pyrolysis recovers carbon-rich material from tyres, followed by post-processing to suit the product. This illustration does not specify any one factory's equipment or process.

Choose rCB for the formulation.

Ash content, particle size, dispersion and batch variation can influence a compound. Review product information and evaluate samples against your requirements.

Blend. Test. Find the balance.

Evaluate partial use alongside virgin carbon black in general conveyor belt, rubber sheet and other industrial rubber formulations, balancing performance needs and material cost.

Conceptual material pathway. Application suitability, blending ratios and cost changes require testing in the actual formulation.

06 / QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START

A few practical answers.

Get clear on the material, the trial and the information needed for an inquiry.

Discuss your requirements
What is recovered carbon black?

Recovered carbon black, or rCB, is a carbon-rich material recovered from end-of-life tyres. This site focuses on evaluating it for general industrial rubber compounds.

Can it replace virgin carbon black?

Consider rCB as part of a blend with virgin carbon black. Suitability depends on the formulation and the performance your product requires.

What blending ratio should I use?

Use your existing recipe as the benchmark. Trial different levels and compare processing, finished-product performance and material cost.

Can I request product information or a sample?

Tell us your application and the information you need. Sample availability, quantity and delivery details can be discussed with your inquiry.

What should I include in an inquiry?

Send your application, destination and email. Add an estimated quantity if known, plus any formulation requirements or timing in the message.

Understand the material. Make an informed purchase.
