Advac Elastomers and Rubber Research Elastomerics have developed grades of Tirecycle^® products that can displace black color additives and UV stabilizers, and provide flex modification to polyolefins. Depending on the level of use, Tirecycle^® / plastic composite materials can mimic the flex properties of PE's and PP's, or exhibit higher flexibility and improved cracking resistance. The proprietary particle surface treatments used in these grades minimizes processing odor and improves melt compatibility.

Because the feedstocks of Tirecycle^® are not reliant on fossil fuel production, utilizing Advac materials can lower your material costs, alleviate supply shortages, and increase post consumer content in your products.

Tirecycle^® MBS-800 and other plastic modifier grades have been tested in rotomolding, extrusion, thermoforming, and injection molding. Contact your Advac representative for recommended applications, levels of use, and processing conditions.
