Recycled Polymeric Materials

The commitment to creativity and belief in new technological possibilities by Diversified Chemical Technologies, Inc. has given life to Recycled Polymeric Materials (RPM).

RPM produces polyurethane components that contain 25% recycled rubber mesh from used tires. Via a patent-pending ambient temperature reaction injection molding process, this system combines the newest in Polyurethane chemistry with post-consumer waste material, producing components of virtually any geometry which can be used as direct replacements for vulcanized EPDM parts.
Our products can currently be found on over 17,000,000 Ford, GM, Honda, Nissan, DaimlerChrysler and BMW vehicles around the world, sealing areas most critical to OEMs.
Environmental Benefits
How often do you have the opportunity to protect the environment, improve your product, and improve your financials? Recycled Polymeric Materials products allow our automotive customers to achieve all of these goals.

Our commitment to both the environment and technological improvements, have led to the development of Foamed Rubber Parts made out of 30% recycled tire rubber. This line of products have proven to be lighter in weight, require less energy to manufacture, show an increase in durability, and assist in the elimination of 60,000 used tires every year.
Research & Development
The unique nature of RPM technology is that the scope is not confined to the automotive industry. On-going and future projects include rubberized concrete for reduced construction costs and increased durability. In addition, RPM is pursuing the use of ASR (automotive shredder residue) as a quality replacement for wood in multiple areas, which may also reduce construction costs. Future applications are being contemplated regarding the expansion of this technology, and RPM will be there.

Teflon Chemicals Found in Humans

Chemicals used in Teflon and Scotchguard are showing up in the bloodstream of humans throughout the world, with higher levels in the United States and other highly developed nations, according to a new study.

The chemicals -- perfluoronated compounds -- have been used for decades with very little government oversight. Scientists say they are surprised at the chemicals' pervasiveness in the environment, which they said raises concerns about their potential impact on public health.

Perfluoronated compounds have been found in the blood of virtually every person tested for them in the United States, including children as young as 2. The compounds have been linked to cancer, developmental problems, liver damage and other ailments in animals, though there is no general agreement about their effects on humans.
