What is PD CEN/TS 17189 - Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres about?
PD CEN/TS 17189 is an international standard used for materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres (ELT). PD CEN/TS 17189 helps in determining the true density of granulates obtained from end-of-life tyres (ELT).
PD CEN/TS 17189 sets out methods and test protocols used to determine the true density of granulates produced from ELTs based on water pycnometry.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17189 - Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres for?
PD CEN/TS 17189 on materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres (ELT) is useful for:
- Tyre recycling industries
- Tyre manufacturers
- Tyre remoulding industries
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17189 - Materials obtained from the end-of-life tyres?
When a tyre is no longer safe or efficient to reuse, even if re-treaded, it is referred to as an "end-of-life tyre", that is waste and must be collected and recovered in specific factories, as well as for material recycling. These granulate are obtained from end-of-life tyres (ELT).
PD CEN/TS 17189 is useful in characterizing granulates coming from end-of-life tyres (ELTs). With the help of PD CEN/TS 17189, you can measure the true density which is useful in identifying the nature of particles of different origins. This true density helps in size-reduced materials such as granulates. By using PD CEN/TS 17189 you can determine the true density of granulates which are obtained from end-of-life tyres.
