Strategic technology opportunityApplication-specific • Subject to validation
Proprietary industrial rubber-compounding technology

Your rubber compound is costing more than it should.

Reduce virgin raw-material demand. Use existing mixing assets. Engineer the performance you actually need.

Management relevance

This is not a recycling story. It is a compound-economics decision.

The recycling benefit matters. But management attention starts with cost, sourcing resilience and strategic timing.

01

Lower compound cost

Reduce dependence on virgin NR/SBR and selected high-cost ingredients.

02

Use existing assets

RUBREG DIRECT is designed around the conventional mixer rather than a separate regeneration plant.

03

Engineer the target

The objective is the required performance envelope — not the highest recycled percentage at any price.

04

Move before competitors

Application-specific access can become a strategic advantage if the technology validates in your compound.

Economics first

What is the annual value at stake?

Estimate why one controlled industrial trial can deserve board-level attention.

Annual raw-material spend:€132.0m
18% preliminary saving€23.8m
27% preliminary saving€35.6m

Illustrative preliminary range from selected internal comparisons. Not a guarantee. Customer-specific formulation, energy, labour, throughput and quality-control effects require validation.

The board-level question

Is this worth one controlled industrial trial?

If the target performance can be achieved at a lower cost per tonne, the strategic value starts before carbon credits, subsidies or ESG benefits are counted.

The saving comes first.
RUBREG Technology

Don’t build another process. Remove one.

RUBREG DIRECT is designed to integrate functional activation and target compounding into the customer’s conventional mixing route.

01 / INPUT

Qualified untreated powder

Tyre-derived powder, factory rubber waste or qualified legacy material plus RTA and formulation components.

02 / PROCESS

Integrated functional activation

Activation and target compounding occur within the conventional mixing route.

03 / OUTPUT

Vulcanizable target compound

A formulation engineered to the mechanical and processing properties required by the application.

No dedicated
devulcanization / activation line
No separate
intermediate production, cooling, storage and re-mixing stage for DIRECT
No required
RUBREG BASE intermediate for the direct route
Proof before claims

From proof of chemistry to proof of performance.

The public site shows enough to establish credibility. Full technical evidence remains for the NDA / due-diligence stage.

DIK test report
DIK HANNOVER

What did DIK actually do?

DIK prepared and cured a fresh reference compound, produced ground rubber, evaluated treated material returned after activation, added a curing system and produced new vulcanized test specimens.

1Fresh compound prepared and cured
2Ground rubber produced and characterized
3Material treated / activated
4New curing system added
5Re-vulcanization and testing
KEY RESULT
“Both of the treated rubbers … are vulcanizable.”

DIK also stated that the treated materials did not match the fresh-compound properties and identified partial substitution as a possible use. Methods included DIN 53529-3, DIN 53505, DIN 53504 and ISO 34.

Selected VŠCHT formulation performance envelope
VŠCHT PRAGUE

Then the formulation space was tested again. And again.

Multiple formulations and repeated specimens were evaluated across tensile strength, elongation, modulus, tear / structural strength, Shore A hardness and abrasion.

12.0 MPaFormulation C / 350% elongation
10.3 MPaFormulation N / 341% elongation
15+documented formulations in the current evidence matrix
Scale-up matters: internal larger-batch production trials reproduced the same performance direction; detailed production records remain available under NDA.

The point is not one “best” recipe. The point is controllable formulation across different target property profiles.

Application-led development

Examples, not limits.

RUBREG is developed against the required performance envelope — not against a closed list of end products.

Moulded technical goods

Stops, pads, guards, selected seals, anti-vibration and protection components.

Flooring & protection

Mats, tiles, sheets, anti-slip, damping and protective products.

Industrial & agricultural

Stable and yard mats, machine protection, logistics products and selected wheels.

Footwear & profiles

Soles, heels, sheets and selected extruded profiles.

Construction & infrastructure

Isolation, damping, impact and protective components.

Tyre-development inputs

Precompounds for selected tyre-part development and customer validation.

These are illustrative examples only. Additional applications can be developed wherever the target mechanical and processing requirements can be achieved and validated.
Feedstock economics

Turn a low-value rubber stream into a formulation input.

The technology can create a higher-value route for qualified rubber powder streams without positioning RUBREG as a recycling company.

Current end-of-life tyres

Qualified tyre-derived powder can enter application-specific compound development.

Factory rubber waste

Selected clean production waste can become a controlled secondary raw material.

Qualified legacy deposits

Historic rubber stocks may become recoverable raw material after excavation, sorting, cleaning and grinding.

Third value layer

The saving comes first. Carbon comes on top.

01 / MATERIAL ECONOMICS

Base case

Reduced demand for virgin NR/SBR and selected high-cost ingredients.

02 / PROCESS ECONOMICS

Customer-specific

Potentially fewer unit operations and no dedicated RUBREG DIRECT activation line.

03 / POTENTIAL CARBON VALUE

Model pending

Avoided upstream emissions may create additional value after robust methodology and verification.

Carbon credits are not included in the base-case valuation. Eligibility would require an approved methodology, additionality, an auditable baseline, chain of custody, independent validation / verification and prevention of double counting.
Strategic access

A technology your competitors should not understand before you do.

RUBREG is evaluating selected strategic, regional and application-specific access structures. The first serious step is not a purchase order. It is a confidential compound-economics and performance assessment.

Secure the application before your competitor does.
