Industrial facilities generate rubber bonded scrap from production and maintenance. Couplings, anti-vibration mounts, rubber lined components, polyurethane rollers and wheels, and bonded wear parts accumulate steadily, whether rejected during production or retired from service. Because of the rubber and polyurethane bonded to the metal, they rarely fit neatly into a standard scrap program. The typical outcome is that these components get landfilled or sold at a steep discount into mixed scrap streams, where contamination reduces the metal value significantly.
PolyMet Recovery offers a direct alternative. We debond and denude rubber, polyurethane, and adhesive from metal, returning the metal to pristine, pre-bonded condition. Our polyurethane debonding, powder coating debonding, and paint removal services extend that same recovery to coated and painted components, which would otherwise be discounted or rejected. For facilities generating these materials consistently, the difference between a PolyMet reclamation program and standard scrap disposal is measurable in both revenue and waste diversion.
