TECHNOLOGY
& INNOVATION

Our patented process converts tire waste into sustainable polymer solutions trusted by manufacturers worldwide.

Our technology breaks down used tire rubber at the molecular level to create polymers that perform like virgin materials—without the environmental cost

Prism’s process converts crumb rubber from used tires into sustainable polymer intermediates by partially reversing chemical bonds.

These materials:

  • Create sustainable thermoplastic elastomers (Ancora™)
  • Enhance rubber modified olefins (Ennova™)
  • Improve thermoset rubber compounds (Ancora V™)
Prism - Making Tires More Circular

Practical, sustainable solutions for rubber and plastics

Prism’s patented technology addresses the tire and plastic recycling challenge, converting materials into sustainable performance polymers. Our cost beneficial solutions deliver performance without compromising environmental responsibility.

Technical Achievements

  • Our patented technology renders the sulfidic bridge selectively inactive to be utilized in TPEs or re-vulcanized in thermoset materials
  • Our patent pending technology has reduced the high concentration of tire odor in various materials to allow for interior use of materials
  • Our technology allows for materials to be used in conventional processing, including injection molding, rotational molding, and extrusion
  • Prism materials have passed all child safety testing requirements
  • Our patented technology allows for the recycling of expensive EPDM materials to be utilized in conjunction with virgin EPDM or other materials at significant inclusion rates that do not reduce the material properties
  • High recycled content (50%+) in TPEs
  • Patent pending on sustainable TPV materials
  • Technology allows for use of recycled tire rubber and plastic in modified olefins
