Method for reclaiming cured rubber scraps

摘要

A method for reclaiming rubber in which the scraps to be reclaimed are treated in an autoclave at a temperature which is always below the temperature at which the scraps had been cured, with continuous agitation and under the pressure of a fluid (such as air) fed to the autoclave at the ambient air temperature. The processing time is a function of the other parameters and can easily be determined experimentally depending upon the nature of the material to be reclaimed and the plasticity to be obtained.
