Reclaim Rubber for Extruded Profiles and Sheets
Reclaim rubber for extrusion lowers the cost of extruded profiles, calendered sheets and membranes. EPDM reclaim gives extruded EPDM profiles a smooth surface; SBR 1502, natural and whole tire reclaim allow low-temperature calendering, mixing and extrusion.

- 30–45
- SBR 1502 strip
- 6″ × 1″, 2,000 lb coils
- Capacity
- 500+ MT / month
- Lead time
- 4–6 weeks (SBR 1502: 4)
EPDM reclaim for profiles and membranes
- Extruded EPDM profiles with a smooth surface.
- Roofing membranes that need weather and water resistance.
- Conveyor belts that need elongation and abrasion resistance.
Specs: 853+ PSI, 55 ± 5 Shore A, Mooney ML(1+4) @ 212 °F 30–45, 300% min elongation.
SBR 1502 and natural reclaim for extrusion and calendering
- Extrusion-grade compounds: low-temperature calendering, mixing and extrusion.
- Fabric- and cord-reinforced compounds: good penetration into the fabric or cord.
- SBR 1502 reclaim ships as 6″ × 1″ extruded strip in 2,000 lb coils, ready to feed.

Sheets and flooring
- Heavily loaded transit flooring made with SBR 1502 reclaim as a lower-cost alternative to virgin SBR 1502.
- Roofing membranes with EPDM reclaim.
Whole tire reclaim in extruded goods
WTR blends into NR/SBR extrusion compounds or serves as the polymer on its own, keeping good aging properties and stable viscosity while lowering cost.
Processing notes
- One or two pass cycles on a Banbury or open mill, without sticking.
- Blends with other elastomers, oils, carbon black, processing aids, accelerators and sulfur.
- Blend levels depend on the profile or sheet spec; start with a trial batch.
Supply and lead time
Pickup from our warehouse in Columbus, OH, or door delivery of full or partial truckloads to the Northeast, Midwest, South, West Coast and Canada. Capacity is 500+ MT per month across all grades. A full truckload is 43,000 lb, lead time is 4–6 weeks (4 weeks for SBR 1502), and every lot is certified and ships with a COA and MSDS.
Have cured scrap of your own?
Extruders: convert your cured EPDM or SBR scrap and get it back as masterbatch.
We run the same conversion for manufacturers through contract toll processing, and can return the masterbatch to your own mixing room.

Reclaim rubber for extrusion: common questions
Can reclaim rubber be extruded?+
Yes. SBR 1502, natural and whole tire reclaim allow low-temperature calendering, mixing and extrusion, and EPDM reclaim gives extruded profiles a smooth surface.
Which reclaim is used for EPDM profiles and roofing membranes?+
EPDM reclaim rubber, made from cured EPDM automotive weatherstrips.
Does reclaim work in fabric- or cord-reinforced compounds?+
Yes. SBR 1502 and natural reclaim give good penetration into fabric and cord.
How is SBR 1502 reclaim packed for extrusion lines?+
As 2,000 lb of extruded strip, 6″ wide × 1″ thick, in coils.
What is the supply capacity?+
500+ MT per month across all grades, with pickup in Columbus, OH.
24tons picks up manufacturers' rubber process scrap, converts it into reusable raw material through vetted contract toll processors and reclaimers, and returns it to the original manufacturer (closing the loop) or distributes it into other qualified applications. One accountable partner, full confidentiality and traceability.
