New! HyPUR-cel GT

Our planet is challenged by the realities of our industries, lifestyles and needs. Because of these challenges we must all be innovative and keen to our environment when it comes to the resources that we employ in our daily lives. At Rubberlite, Inc. we have recognized that the ability to positively affect changes in our environment must start with what we do as a company. We are very proud to introduce our newest product offering, HyPUR-cel ® GT, the birth of a hybrid product combining the outstanding physical properties of our highly touted HyPUR-cel ® line with recycled materials to produce HyPUR-cel® GT, (Green Technology).

At Rubberlite, we understand that our customers demand products that not only perform in a wide range of applications, but also perform for our environment. We have teamed with some of the world leaders in recycled materials and are able to incorporate powdered rubber that has been reclaimed from discarded tires.

The facts are that, every year, over 300 million vehicular tires are at the end of their useful life. The solid waste disposal issues created by these tires are a serious threat to our available land and natural resources throughout the United States of America. Currently, there are over 500 million used tires stored in waste piles throughout the United States. These tires are virtually indestructible and pose a considerable health hazard to our communities. The issue is so serious that the United States Congress is currently reviewing legislation that will address the problem.

Until now, the technology for manufacturing recycled rubber powders in a form that would be feasible for use in our industry was non-existent. Thanks to the innovative product research and development team at Rubberlite, we can proudly offer you the exciting new product, HyPUR-cel® GT! By incorporating ultra-fine rubber powders in the 80-350 mesh particle size range, we can provide our customers with an incredible, environmentally conscious and high performance product. The applications for the HyPUR-cel® GT line are wide and include numerous industries. We encourage you to contact us today to discuss the benefits of adding HyPUR-cel® GT to your application.

The benefits of using recycled rubber products in foam applications are wide and include various industries. Just a snapshot of some of the possible advantages include:

• Annual oil savings of over 780 MILLION gallons resulting in $1.2 billion in annual savings
• A reduction of 25% of the scrap tires generated annually in the U.S. (Over 83 million tires)
• An increase in the economic impact of the industry from the result of over 4,000 new jobs
• A direct impact of over $600 million dollars in the rubber powder industry.

All of these facts led us to incorporate the outstanding physical properties of our HyPUR-cel ® line with recycled materials to produce the new HyPUR-cel ® GT (Green Technology).
