Rubber and polyurethane bonded components are used throughout upstream, midstream, and downstream operations, including vibration isolating mounts, valve components, flexible assemblies, and bonded fittings. When they fail quality control, are pulled for replacement, or are retired during decommissioning, they carry metal value that general scrap disposal does not capture.
PolyMet Recovery debonds and denudes rubber from metal, recovering the substrate cleanly regardless of bond strength or time in service.
Reclamation reduces landfill costs and the emissions tied to new metal production. Decommissioning projects benefit from a pre-engagement material assessment that estimates reclamation value before work begins.
