How is your product similar/different to reclaim?
The core difference between Lehigh’s MRP and reclaim is the treatment during the manufacturing process. Generally, reclaim rubber is chemically and heat treated, causing the properties of the base compound to degrade. Lehigh’s rubber is cryo-mechanically treated, preserving the properties of the base compound. This enables MRP to provide performance benefits in many applications.
Safety and the Environment
Is your product safe?
Micronized rubber powder has gone through extensive testing in the U.S. and Europe by independent laboratories and government agencies for health and safety. A list of these tests and conclusions, including Lehigh Technologies’ third-party REACH/SVHC report, can be obtained by contacting us here.
How does using Lehigh’s MRP help protect the environment?
By incorporating MRPs into products, users:
- Prevent end-of-life tires and post-industrial rubber from entering landfills
- Preserve resources like oil and rubber by reducing the volume of oil-derived, virgin materials, which reduces energy consumption tied to manufacturing new products
- Lower CO2 emissions derived from production of virgin raw materials by about 40 percent per pound of MRP
