RUBBER RECLAIMING

          By  the application of heat and chemical agents followed  by intense mechanical working to ground vulcanised scrap or worn out rubber  tires,  tubes and waste rubber  articles,  a  substantial regeneration  on  devulcanisation of the rubber compound  to  its original  plastic state is effected, thus permitting the  product to  be  compounded, processed and  revulcanised.   Reclaiming  is essentially    depolymerisation   and    misnomerically    called “devulcanisation”  although combined sulphur is not removed.   By this  depolymerisation,  the  reclaimed  rubber  shows  decreased resistance  to deformation at ordinary temperature; thus  loosing its  elastic  nature and become less  resistant  to  compression, stretching  or  swelling.  Reclaimed rubber was  born  because  a secondary  source of rubber was urgently needed.   Entire  rubber industry  was growing so fast in the early days and there was  no enough  crude rubber to substantiate the demand.  Reclaim  rubber soon become indispensable.  Apart from this, tire pose a disposal problem and therefore utilized as basic raw material in the  form of  ground  vulcanised  waste  (crumb  rubber)  or  converted  to reusable state-reclaimed rubber.
