Applications

MEI's Ambient and Cryogenically Ground Rubber Process:

Cryogenic:

• 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.

• Does not lose or change any of its chemical or physical properties.
• Imparts no impurities to the rubber being ground.
• No possibility of surface oxidation, due to the nitrogen grinding medium.
• Production quantities are 5,000 lbs. to truckload quantities.
• Packaging: Low melt bags, Super sacks, Gaylord Boxes, and Kraft bags.

Applications:

• Tires: Tire treads, tire innerliners, tire bead construction, off-road tires
