A method and system for generating a rapid digestion process (“RDP”) product are described. The method includes receiving a bitumen compound and first heating the bitumen compound to 320° F. to 420° F. The method then proceeds to add tire rubber to the bitumen compound. The bitumen compound and the tire rubber are mixed for 5 minutes to 360 minutes during a second heating to 525° F. to 700° F. Further, sulfur is added to the mixture of tire rubber and bitumen compound. These steps generate the RDP product. The RDP product is then cooled for transfer to a storage vessel.

A method for preparing a butyronitrile rubber powder-based polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thermoplastic elastomer and a use of the butyronitrile rubber powder-based PVC thermoplastic elastomer in preparing automotive parts are provided. The method includes: activating a wasted nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) powder; plasticizing one of NBR and chloroprene rubber (CR) to obtain a plasticized rubber; dispersing the activated NBR fine rubber powder with one of PVC and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) in a kneader evenly to obtain a mixture; adding the mixture and pine tar into the plasticized rubber, then mixing evenly to obtain a mixed plastic; adding various compounding agents into the mixed plastic and dispersing evenly to perform cross-linking reaction, thereby obtaining the butyronitrile rubber powder-based PVC thermoplastic elastomer. By using the wasted NBR powder as a main material, which turns waste into treasure and has low cost, and the butyronitrile rubber powder-based PVC thermoplastic elastomer has excellent comprehensive performance.

A method of combining rubbers and plastics when injection molding, and compositions usable in injection molding, are shown and described. Comminuted rubber from waste tires and waste plastics including any of high density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polypropylene are combined and heated to melt at least the plastics. In one optional approach, both are melted. Plastics comprise from twenty to eighty percent by weight of the mixture, with rubber accounting for the balance. The mixture may be fortified with bonding, compatibilizing, and strengthening agents. The compositions may be cooled and pelletized for immediate use in injection operations.

The invention relates to the field of road construction materials, and it is intended to improve the quality of road surfaces, roofing and insulating materials based on bitumens, which is achieved by improving the quality of bitumens with the help of using modified crumb rubber—a disposal product of used automotive and tractor tires, in particular, the invention relates to a low-temperature method for manufacturing modified crumb rubber to improve the quality of bitumens and asphalt concretes and to the technology for mixing it with bitumen, for the purpose of creating a uniform material that is not prone to destruction during long-term storage. The present invention consists in the development of a new method for manufacturing the modified crumb rubber, comprising preparing a mix from the following components: crumb rubber from used automotive and tractor tires with a particle size of up to 1 mm—50-65 wt. %, oxides and/or hydroxides of alkaline-earth metals—10-20 wt. %, petroleum oil of solvent refining with the viscosity of from 0.05 to 1.5 Pa*s at 60° C.—20-30 wt. %, an amine type antiageing agent—a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compound—0.1-2.0 wt. %; mixing the components of the resulting mix with a shock-shear load on the material in a mixer-activator at a temperature of 80-120° C.; and further cooling the resulting mix to a room temperature.
