<p>The invention relates to a process for converting an elastomer from scrap to a regenerated elastomer which comprises the steps of: a) introducing the elastomer from scrap into a vessel equipped with agitating means, the elastomer from scrap being in a powder form; b) agitating and heating the elastomer from scrap, limiting the heating of the elastomer from scrap to a temperature below the temperature where the elastomer begins to degrade; c) introducing an oil into the vessel and admixing together the elastomer from scrap and the oil; and d) cooling down the so formed regenerated elastomer, whereby the regenerated elastomer has properties similar to a corresponding virgin elastomer. A regenerated elastomer and its use are also disclosed.</p> |
