NorthStar Elastomers

NorthStar Elastomers, LLC, manufactures custom blended base rubber compounds and additives, used in the manufacture of adhesives and sealants for a wide range of usage and benefits. These rubber compounds and additives are generally Butyl or PIB based, compatible with NR, SBR, EPDM, PPE, most rubbers, plastics, and asphalt. Aliphatic and napthenic solvents work very well, and we avoid aromatics, polar solvents, silicones and water-based mixtures. See Properties Chart for more Polymer product information.

NorthStar Elastomers, LLC, manufactures and markets several forms of Tirecycle™, for different purposes and markets. Treatment K is an activating adhesive polymer, while T 608 for tires and MBS 800 for hoses are basic Tirecycle™ masterbatch compounds. All can be tested and adjusted for your specific master batch manufacturing and performance needs. The fundamental product is “a pre-cured, engineered, particulate elastomer with a coherent, homogeneous, reactive surface; ready to bond into any appropriate virgin rubber or masterbatch.” Tirecycle™ is an advanced material, which upcycles and rejuvenates rubber crumb, to perform as virgin masterbatch replacement or equivalent. Made predominantly from tires, but EPDM, neoprene and many other rubbers and plastics will also work. Many production wastes and used materials may be repeatedly recycled via the Tirecycle™ process, and still maintain performance.
