MEI's Ambient and Cryogenically Ground Rubber Process:

Ambient:

  • Employs liquid nitrogen to freeze (-320 F) and embrittle rubber. The cold rubber is fractured into uniformly and finely ground mesh powder.

  • Does not lose or change any of its chemical or physical properties.

  • Imparts no impurities to the rubber being ground.

  • No possibility for surface oxidation, due to the nitrogen grinding medium.
