Abstract
Abstract Experimental results are presented which indicate that scrap rubber vulcanizates, typical of today's tires, can be depolymerized to a product which is essentially a carbon black dispersion in oil. The depolymerization is free radical in nature and requires an efficient chain transfer agent to prevent hardening of the vulcanizate and to increase the rate of depolymerization. The product, termed “Depolymerized Scrap Rubber” (DSR), should be useful, particularly as a rubber compounding ingredient and as a fuel oil extender.
