About us
To address the global nature of scrap tires, Tyromer needs to collaborate and partner with industry leaders who share its vision to bring about an environmentally sustainable and financially viable solution to the scrap tire problem, and create a socially responsible economic opportunity at the same time.
Under a collaboration with AirBoss Rubber Compounding, Tyromer implemented its first commercial scrap tire rubber crumb devulcanization system within the AirBoss manufacturing complex in Kitchener, Canada, to produce TDP (Tire-Derived Polymer) for reuse in tires. Today, AirBoss offers its customers an OTR retread compound with 20% TDP. Under a collaboration with a major tire producer, Tyromer is constructing a TDP production facility in Windsor, Canada. Under a collaboration with a major automotive component manufacturer, Tyromer received funding assistance from the Government of Canada to extend its devulcanization technology to EPDM.
To best serve our licensees and partners, we will focus on our core strength – technology, process and product development and improvement – to drive their success. Our team, along with our equipment manufacturing partners, has the capability to support our licensees and partners globally.
