Rubber additives
Sustainable Rubber. Reimagined.
Hundreds of products are made from rubber. But thousands of products use elastomers to increase impact and toughness properties. Natural fiber additives have successfully been used in rubber applications for decades.
- Reduce the Cost, Weight, and Carbon Footprint of Rubber
- Lead Your Industry In Sustainable Material Innovation
Natural Fiber Filled Rubber
Heartland works alongside brands and suppliers that use rubber in various applications.
Rubber is used in applications like thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDMs), and styrene butadiene rubber (SBRs). Natural, neoprene, silicone, and nitrile rubber are also materials that can benefit from engineered natural fiber additives.
Unlocking The Sustainable Future We Need And Deserve
Heartland's materials replace and augment additives like talc and carbon black.
We work with global brands and their suppliers to predictably reduce the carbon footprint of everyday products without any retooling costs.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Throughout The Supply Chain
Farmer
Heartland partners with corn, wheat, and soy farmers to embed industrial hemp into their crop rotation. Our USDA Grant has given us unique insights into industrial hemp farming, regenerative agriculture, and carbon sequestration.
Compounder
Heartland partners with plastic compounders to augment talc, calcium, and glass without any retooling costs. Our Imperium masterbatch solves dust, flammability, bonding, and bulk density problems typically associated with bio-based additives.
Converter
Heartland partners with plastic converters to ensure the hemp-filled resin is processed properly. Our team works alongside component part manufacturers to process natural fiber-filled plastic with the same molds used today.
Brand
Heartland is the sustainability partner for brands on their journey to reduce their carbon footprint. Our team helps create stakeholder alignment so companies can effectively communicate the value of sustainable material innovation.
