Aloha RichieBoy - As I've mentioned before, I believe that the Thermoplastics arena is where MDOR will really excell in the future. Check out the following on TPE's including an ariel picture of the Magog facility and future expansion for it.

Continuing Research and Development

Since TPE compounds vary in properties and characteristics; manufactured rubber powder mixed with TPEs produce a compound that mimic other non-recyclable compounds. In order to ensure that the produced compounds meet the exact specifications of the TPE product that is being replaced, a precise recipe for the formulation of the compound must be created. Thus, MDOR will continue developing new compounds, file new patents, and produce products for the rubber powder it manufactures. At this time applications outnumber the amount of available raw material to produce them, thus creating a considerable supply gap for the powder

Patents

MDOR has been granted, for the life of the patents, the exclusive license by Professor Dr. Ing. Gunter Mennig, Dr. Michael, and Dr. Scholz (lecturers at The University of Chemnitz), for the family of patents which define the method by which rubber powder can be bonded with thermoplastic materials to create an elastomer that is subsequently used to create TPE like products. The company also has lifetime use of the patent relating to the re-composition of rubber powder. It will also receive future license rights for processing rubber into a powder with a particulate size less than 50 microns, as well as, a new liquefaction process now under development.

These patented processes will allow MDOR to produce high quality materials in industrial quantities, unlike any other competitor or supplier worldwide.

THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS

What is a TPE?

Whether fact or folklore, the genesis of the family of materials known as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) is said to be a multi-disciplinary research effort, now three decades old, aimed at making a tire that could be molded more like a plastic. It didn't work.

But, what did result from that R & D effort was a new class of materials that are a mixture of rubber and plastic-TPEs. An outline of the TPE process follows:

The following is an Ariel picture of the Magog facility. Note the area outlined as the future
“MDOR TPE Plant” and the “Rubber and Plastics Research and Training Facility” location.

So IHMO, MDOR’s vision is far beyond garden beds and playfields. Someday, this will be a company to be reckoned with.
