Rubber
We aimed to provide the market with rubber featuring exceptionally strong properties. This led to the development of rubber from tyres, which offers versatile characteristics, allowing customers to choose options suited to their intended applications. This rubber has proven capable of delivering on those promises by singling out or combining natural components, silica, SBR, nitrile and other compounds.
Bon Orbit Rubber retains inherent qualities that deliver unique benefits and is available in various sizes, each with distinct attributes and applications tailored to a wide range of industries and specific project needs. This versatile material, renowned for its elasticity and durability, is categorised into four distinct particle sizes: First Cut, Second Cut, Granulate, and Powder. Each category offers unique characteristics and applications, further catering to diverse industrial requirements and specific project demands. Rubber is produced today both from the sap of rubber trees (natural rubber) and through an industrial process (synthetic rubber). To bind the material and achieve the desired properties, various substances are added to the rubber, such as carbon black, oils, additives, and more. To create a stable, mouldable, and durable material, the rubber is vulcanised through the addition of sulphur and heat, which creates a material with very strong chemical bonds. What sets it apart is its ability to retain these attributes even in its recycled form, offering versatility across various applications while matching or exceeding the performance of alternative materials.
Sizes
First cut
First cut rubber comprises larger rubber shreds, providing excellent resilience and impact resistance. This category is commonly utilized in applications that demand robustness and cushioning, such as playground surfaces, sports fields, and shock-absorbing mats.
Second cut
Second cut rubber consists of smaller rubber particles, offering enhanced flexibility and surface coverage. It finds application in various industries, including automotive, construction, and manufacturing. This category is often employed in projects that require improved grip, noise reduction, or vibration isolation.
Granular
The granulate can be ordered in sizes from 0.8-5.0 mm and is delivered in big bags sized from 25 kg up to 1 tonne. The product has a high level of purity and through our sorting process we can deliver with consistent quality for direct feed-in into our customer applications.
Powder
Powdered rubber, the finest category, offers exceptional flowability and easy integration into various manufacturing processes. It is commonly used in applications like coatings, adhesives, sealants, and rubberized products, where precise dispersion and homogeneous mixing are crucial.
