PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide efficiently produced elastomer compositions that comprise reclaimed elastomer material, but which retain mechanical properties comparable to elastomer compositions containing no reclaimed material.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing elastomer compounds, described herein, solves the problem. The compounds comprise reclaimed vulcanized elastomer materials such as micronized rubber powders (MRP). As described herein, shorter mixing times can be used to achieve the same minimum tensile strength as compositions containing no reclaimed material. The elastomeric compositions may include various proportions of reclaimed vulcanized elastomer materials. A rubber compound is also described which comprises reclaimed material and which has a minimum tensile strength equal to or higher than a predetermined minimum tensile strength associated with a compound containing no reclaimed material. The rubber compound is manufactured with a reduced mixing time compared to that of the compound with no MRP. |
