NorthStar Elastomers, LLC, manufactures and markets several forms of Tirecycle™, for different purposes and markets. Treatment K is an activating adhesive polymer, while T 608 for tires and MBS 800 for hoses are basic Tirecycle™ masterbatch compounds. All can be tested and adjusted for your specific master batch manufacturing and performance needs.
Technically Integrated Recycle™
The fundamental product is “a pre-cured, engineered, particulate elastomer with a coherent, homogeneous, reactive surface; ready to bond into any appropriate virgin rubber or masterbatch.” Tirecycle™ is an advanced material, which upcycles and rejuvenates rubber crumb, to perform as virgin masterbatch replacement or equivalent. Made predominantly from tires, but EPDM, neoprene and many other rubbers and plastics will also work. Many production wastes and used materials may be repeatedly recycled via the Tirecycle™ process, and still maintain performance.
