One of the leading green materials manufacturers, Lehigh Technologies has announced the addition of PolyDyne and MicroDyne, butyl-based micronized powders to its product portfolio.
These materials help to manage the major challenge of increasing the costs of butyl rubber, a significant ingredient in tire and industrial products, as there is a short supply. In addition, they will enhance the sustainability of products. The butyl-based products from Lehigh Technologies have the greatest quality and consistency and assists manufacturers to manage rising costs with no compromise in performance.
Kedar Murthy, VP and General Manager of Lehigh Technologies’ Tire and Industrial Rubber division, pointed out that the development of green rubber materials is important to support the tire industry in its environmental initiatives. Hence, to achieve this Lehigh Technologies’ application and development team has created formulation protocols to enhance the use of sustainable, micronized rubber powders in compound products. He also added that the company’s sustainable rubber powders can be used as a replacement for expensive, non-renewable virgin materials and this helps to control costs. Thus, the butyl products offer a green solution with high quality.
With the use of butyl-based micronized rubber powders, manufacturers can develop sustainable products and position them as green manufacturing companies. Lehigh Technologies joins with global tire companies to add butyl micronized powder in Halobutyl and other butyl compounds.
The company has recently introduced the Road to One Billion Campaign and the objective of this initiative is to work with sustainable tire manufacturers to further decrease the carbon footprint resulting from the production of a tire.
