Aerospace assemblies rely on rubber, polyurethane, and adhesive bonded components such as mounts, isolators, and dampers to manage vibration, shock, and thermal stress. Bonding elastomers to metal makes conventional scrap processing impractical. PolyMet Recovery separates these materials through controlled and specialized debonding and denuding, freeing the metal substrate without compromising its surface area or hardness.
Whether parts are rejected in production or components are retired from service, PolyMet offers a reclamation pathway rather than sending bonded assemblies to general scrap, where metal value is lost. Reclaimed metal reduces purchases of costly virgin alloys, supports closed-loop manufacturing, and can be re-bonded with fresh rubber or polyurethane to remanufacture components at a fraction of the cost of new. It also lowers exposure to volatile pricing and lead times while supporting your recycling and reclamation targets.
