Recovered Carbon black as a more sustainable feedstock
Recovered Carbon Black utilised end-of-life tyres to replace the need for virgin carbon black.
Elastomers cover a diverse range of flexible polymers which include mechanical rubber goods, thermoplastic elastomers, silicones, and fluoroelastomers. Lawrence Industries can assist with additives and fillers to enhance the physicochemical performance of elastomeric compounds, enhance their appearance, as well as reduce their carbon footprint.
For example, we have a range of functional fillers to assist with lightweighting, mechanical reinforcement, gas barrier properties, chemical resistance, and thermal conductivity. We also offer speciality additives including anti-blooming agents, antistatic agents, stabilisers, and a diverse range of special effect pigments. For carbon footprint reduction we offer recovered carbon black, recycled marble flour, devulcanised rubber masterbatches, and an assortment of bio-fillers.

Thermoplastics are fantastic engineering materials. They are low cost, lightweight, easy to process and provide excellent durability. It’s no surprise therefore that thermoplastics are omnipresent in our lives, with the average European citizen consuming on average 50 kg per year. High time then to scrutinise thermoplastics from a sustainability standpoint.
