Neopara is helping to make silicones greener
We produce a patent-pending 'reinforcing filler', an ingredient for silicone products, made from waste tires.
Adding our product as a reinforcing filler can both reduce the carbon footprint and lower the cost of silicone products.
Extensive applications in the $9B construction silicone industry, in sealants, coatings, and adhesives
Diverts waste
Diverts used tires from landfills and other low value uses
Similar performance
Meets the same performance specifications as pure silicone
Reduced footprint
For every kg of silicone displaced, ~16kg of CO2e emissions are avoided
Cost Competitive
The process converts low-cost inputs to high-value final products
Incredible traction
Adds traction for safety and serviceability in roofing applications
Transforming waste tires into high-performance silicone products
Neopara buys (widely available) ground up used tires
We chemically modify the tire rubber to bond well with silicone
We sell the modified rubber to silicone formulators
Formulators add our product to silicone formulations, decreasing footprint and cost
Extensive testing completed with silicone sealants and roofing products
