Improvement of Environmental Safety in the Processing and Use of Elastomeric Waste

Abstract

The possibilities of use of combined modifying additive in the production of polymeric materials from general-purpose rubber production wastes are considered. Such additives facilitate reduce of the exhaust of pollutants into the environment at the stage of waste processing. Inorganic salts, including sodium phosphate and ammonium sulfate in a certain ratio can be used as a combined modifying additive the results of the study confirm the advantages of using of this complex modifier in polymeric materials from rubber production waste to increase their resistance to thermal decomposition, fire and aggressive media in comparison with an unmodified product. It was demonstrated that the complex modifying additive is more compatible with ISK rubbers and less washed out from it than with SKS rubbers.
