Value proposition

Tyromer's chemical-free process devulcanizes scrap tires & creates material reusable in new tires at high percentages.

When rubber is formed into a tire, it is vulcanized. This is a process where the rubber is mixed with sulfur and exposed to heat. The result is a hard, durable rubber product – the tires we know today. Vulcanized rubber is difficult to reuse because it cannot be easily reformulated or remixed – but that’s exactly where Tyromer devulcanization gets to work.

Simple is Better. Tyromer’s patented devulcanization process is straightforward – Crumb rubber is fed into the extruder, and devulcanized rubber is extruded out. No chemicals added, no additives at all. The resulting product is called TDP or Tire-Derived Polymer which is used in new rubber product manufacturing. TDP can typically be used in higher levels than other recycled rubbers.
