New applications for composites of polyurethane and recycled rubber

Completed
About
Rubber from end-of-life tires is being used to develop composite foams with interesting properties for some applications. After grinding, the rubber obtained from the tires can be incorporated in the polyurethane foams. This project is funded by Valorpneu.

The objectives of the project are:
*    Development of foam formulations with recycled rubber.
 *   Testing and characterization of the composite foams
  *  Development of applications with composite foams
Test of prototypes manufactured with composite foams
