The technology being used to deliver recycled sheets of neoprene that are stable and ready for manufacturing into alternative new products has been in development for the past six years. We are finally ready to launch the service. The process is proprietary and complex. The schematic below gives an overview of how we execute the actual reprocessing of the waste neoprene material. https://circularflow.net/
Chloroprene rubber or polychloroprene rubber or neoprene, is a synthetic rubber that is produced through chloroprene’s polymerization. Chloroprene rubber (CR) exhibits superior properties such as favorable chemical stability and flexibility over a broad temperature range, which contributes to its widespread use in a range of applications including as a raw material in modifying adhesives as well as the production of latex products, among others. Increase in private public investments into construction sector and focus on infrastructure development projects especially in developing economies remain critical to the demand for CR in building & construction industry. Rising demand for cold- and weather-resistant products such as wetsuits and marine products is also a major driver of growth. Also driving demand will be the increasing use of CR in electric cables to meet the ever-growing need for energy and subsequent the subsequent increase in the number of power transmission lines being established. The market stands to benefit from the inefficiencies associated with competitive products such as natural rubber, synthetic SBR and isoprene. With the COVID-19 pandemic denting prospects in industrial, manufacturing, construction and automotive industries, the demand for chloroprene rubber is also being adversely impacted. The recovering demand for industrial rubber products, adhesives and automobiles is thus a vital determinant of growth in the CR market.
