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.
