Zero-Waste Reprocessing and Depolymerisation of Rubber
Bridge Fields Resources reprocesses rubber scraps with 100% conversion into high-quality rubber gums without pilferage, ensuring branded items are kept safe while keeping the environment in mind.
NBR 30
Malaysia’s rubber products and derivatives are pervasive in communities around the world. As one of the top three exporters of rubber, we are poised to supply the ever-increasing demand for the commodity. However, increased demand also means more rubber wastage. This is where Bridge Fields Resources Sdn Bhd (BFR) steps in, taking all types of natural and synthetic rubber scraps and reprocess them into high-quality rubber gum.
The company’s first foray into the rubber industry started way back in 1998; then, it was just reprocessing rubber tyres. Foreseeing the need to steer towards sustainability, the focus then was largely on Research and Development. The folks at BFR laboured to refine their technology, thus enabling conversions of various rubber types. Since the move to a new factory in 2004, the company is able to hold and supply 600 tonnes of rubber every month.
NRG 90P
Turning Trash into Treasure
BFR now produces high-grade reprocessed rubber from rubber wastes and rejected latex materials and markets them as Grenviro™, selling it to rubber product manufacturing industries. With the help of the ChemicoMacheno De-polymerization (CMD) unique technology, the process allows for minimal degradation of rubber properties and 100% recovery process, without taking a toll on the environment. Grenviro™ is now widely known in the industry. The reprocessed rubber products are meant to be alternatives for manufacturers who use RSS1 and SMR-L. They also retain 80-90% dry rubber content (DRC) which closely resembles virgin natural rubber.
Conventionally, rubber recycling uses heat that would result in the degradation of rubber to 50% of its original properties. The new technology is a synergy between mechanical and chemical processes and the usage of kinetic energy, without producing toxic discharge.
This technology led to the production of the NRG 90P, NRG PL2, NRG 80W, NRG HG, NRG UG, NBR 30 and NBR 31, among other rubber gum products. Some of the major feedstocks for reprocessing include latex compound (natural and synthetic), latex gloves, catheters, and various types of latex-based products. As a result of their efforts, manufacturing cost savings can be improved, without any huge compromise in quality. Some of the advantages of using Grenviro products include:
Mixing Process:Faster and smoother mixing is achieved. Reduces the requirement of energy thus the heat produced. As it is already processed, incorporation of fillers is accelerated.
Molding Process: Flows better in the mould. Clear design impressions are obtained for intricate designs, reduces the entrapment of air and thus lessening the rejection rate.
Extrusion Process: Faster extrusion rate is obtained with reduced swelling.
Vulcanizing Process:Faster cure rate with no risk of reversion.
NRG UG
In recognition of the green reprocessing technology that’s employed, BFR has started constructing its new plant (Phase 2) where all scheduled waste under SW321 for rubber will be obtained to assist all MFG in keeping the environment clean, by recycling all SW321 into usable rubber again.
