Levgum
Cost-Effective Solution for Rubber Waste Recycling

 

Levgum is an environmental technology company specializing in rubber devulcanization. The company has developed the world's leading rubber devulcanization technology, turning rubber recycling into a commercially viable, environmentally clean enterprise

Levgum's technology is the brainchild of three scientists with vast experience in the rubber recycling and chemical fields. Collectively, they have spent years to reach their mission of developing a mechanical-chemical process to bring scrap rubber back to its original composition so it can be reused in new products.

From the time that Goodyear developed the vulcanization of rubber to make tires, scientists have been searching for a way to devulcanize rubber in order to recycle this potentially hazardous waste product. Levgum's groundbreaking work is radically changing the rubber and rubber recycling industries.

Competitive Advantages of the Levgum Process:

  • The process is completely clean and environmentally safe as Levgum’s chemical modifier consists of harmless, inexpensive chemicals.
  • It is the only process which can treat large rubber pieces - there is no need for the rubber waste to be grounded.
  • Only a small percent of modifier is needed for each ton of rubber.
  • The process, which uses a two-roll mill, can be adapted with exceptional ease to most rubber production factories.
  • Levgum’s recycled rubber retains most of the characteristics and properties of natural rubber. Thus, the quality of Levgum’s recycled rubber is high enough to be blended for use in new tires and can be used in all rubber products.
  • The process will significantly reduce the amount of rubber waste worldwide.
