Common applications of latex recycled rubber powder

Latex recycled rubber powder is a recycled rubber powder crushed from waste latex products (such as waste latex gloves, latex mattresses, latex tubes), which has similar performance characteristics to rubber, high elasticity, good flexibility, good chemical stability, and can be compatible with a variety of materials, forming a mesh structure in rubber or other materials, increasing the toughness and tear resistance of the material, and reducing the specific gravity. Latex rubber powder has a wide range of applications in rubber soles, asphalt modification, sound insulation coatings, plastic modifications and other fields.

1. Rubber sole

Rubber soles are processed from natural rubber or synthetic rubber as raw materials, with good softness and excellent elasticity, and are widely used in all kinds of sports shoes, casual shoes, leather shoes, and labor protection shoes. An appropriate amount of latex recycled rubber powder mixed in rubber soles can improve the elasticity and flexibility of the sole, further improve the wear resistance and flexural resistance of the sole, and are not prone to cracking, deformation and other problems, and effectively reduce the production cost under the premise of ensuring the performance of rubber soles.

2. Asphalt modification

An appropriate amount of latex rubber powder is added to the matrix asphalt, and the modified asphalt has better low-temperature crack resistance, high-temperature stability, ductility, viscosity and anti-aging properties. Latex recycled rubber powder modified asphalt has a wide range of applications in road construction, waterproof materials and other fields.

The long-chain molecules in latex recycled rubber powder form physical entanglements in asphalt, increasing the viscoelasticity and flexibility of asphalt, and improving the cracking, fatigue and high-temperature deformation resistance of asphalt pavement. The antioxidants contained in latex recycled rubber powder E5LYY418 can inhibit the oxidation reaction of asphalt, absorb harmful substances, slow down the aging rate of asphalt, and improve the anti-aging performance of asphalt. The addition of latex recycled rubber powder can reduce the glass transition temperature of asphalt, improve the flexibility and brittle cracking resistance of asphalt under low temperature conditions, and reduce the occurrence of low-temperature cracking.

3. Soundproof coatings

Acoustic insulation coating is a kind of architectural sound insulation material that achieves sound insulation effect through coating, and the appropriate use of latex recycled rubber powder in the formulation of sound insulation coating can effectively improve the sound insulation, toughness and adhesion of the coating, and is widely used in building walls, floors, automobile interiors and other fields of noise control. Latex adhesive powder can be used in combination with inorganic fillers (such as mica powder, diatomaceous earth) and binders (such as acrylic emulsion, polyurethane) to form a composite coating with good sound insulation effect.

4. Plastic modification

Latex recycled rubber powder can be used for plastic modification, and can be used as a toughener or functional filler in general-purpose plastics such as PVC, PE, PP, etc., which significantly improves the impact strength, flexibility and anti-aging performance of plastics, and reduces the brittleness of plastic products. Reduce the melt viscosity of plastics and improve plastic processing performance. Latex rubber powder modified plastic has a wide range of applications in PVC pipes, plastic films, plastic pipes, plastic containers, plastic floors.
