Maximizing Resources: How High-Performance Binders Drive Sustainability in the Rubber Industry

High performance rubber binder can be used in different types of materials, promoting the circular economy and sustainability.

For companies involved in rubber production, minimizing waste and adopting sustainable practices are constant challenges. The application of reverse circular economy stands out as a solution, removing materials from the environment that could take up to 600 years to decompose, while offering companies a new revenue stream by entering new market segments.

What enables reverse circularity is the high-performance rubber binder, a prepolymer that can be used in various types of materials, such as tire rubber, sandal rubber, and more. Its production typically occurs in four forms: rectangular blocks for flooring, hot-pressed plates for flooring, cylindrical blocks for acoustic mats, and monolithic in-place flooring applied directly at sites, such as playgrounds and walking tracks.

Offering excellent comfort, reduced impact in falls, good durability, easy maintenance, resistance to abrasion, heat, and water, as well as permeability, this binder is mainly used in construction, for plate or monolithic playground flooring, water park surfaces, public plazas, gyms, and acoustic mats for noise isolation in buildings. It can also be applied to various technical components, coating for weight plates, and more.

Amino provides a complete line of prepolymers for rubber binding, which can be customized according to each client’s needs. Highlights include AMIPRE PB, a high-performance aromatic one-component binder recommended for expanded SBR rubber materials, and AMIPRE PDS, a high-performance aliphatic one-component binder for colored EPDM.

One of the standout cases involving AMIPRE PB was the development by the RHPE Group of solid wheels, laminates, and rubber plates utilizing scraps from the most famous Brazilian sandals, enabling the reuse of over 200,000 pairs of sandals to date.

In addition to incorporating advanced technology into its products, Amino offers all clients, at no additional cost, a specialized technical team with extensive experience in formulation development and technical support to meet the specific needs of each partner, whether in the final product or the production process. This synergy provides various advantages, such as optimized productivity tailored to plant capacity, ideal reaction time adjustments, excellent adhesion to different types of substrates, and compliance with technical standards.

With its comprehensive line of prepolymers and specialized technical support, Amino stands out as a partner for companies seeking sustainable and efficient rubber production solutions. It ensures high-quality products for a wide range of applications, contributing to a more sustainable and profitable future for its clients.

Our specialists are available to provide more information about the AMIPRE line or any other customized solutions Amino can offer for your business.
