Lehigh Technologies is privately held.

Lehigh Technologies is a specialty chemicals company that produces highly engineered, versatile raw materials called micronized rubber powders (MRP) that can replace oil- and rubber-based feedstocks in a wide range of applications. MRP delivers product performance, lower production costs and reduced waste. By transforming waste materials into high-value products, Lehigh provides a sustainable solution to the important environmental problem of end-of-life tires and other post-industrial rubber material.

We have two main product lines: PolyDyne™ and MicroDyne™, which range from 830 microns to 50 microns in size. All of these products are manufactured from end-of-life tire materials and post-industrial rubber using our proprietary cryogenic turbo mill technology.

We also have a number of innovative new compounds, including Enduraprene™, EkoDyne™, Rheopave™ and Zenoflex™.

Our high quality, micron-scale MRPs are suitable for a number of high-performance consumer and industrial applications, including tires, plastics, asphalt and construction materials, among others. Importantly, MRPs are a lower-cost, sustainable alternative to virgin rubber and oil-based materials, providing a boost to the bottom line.

Our customers include the largest tire companies in the world, leading flooring manufacturers and companies at the forefront in the construction materials, asphalt modification and coatings segments – to name just a few.

And as these customers know, we’re not just a manufacturer of specialty chemicals—we’re also a technology company. Our best-in-class Application and Development Center (ADC) is staffed with a team of experienced industry professionals and experienced scientists who leverage their in-depth understanding of how MRPs function to help customers develop and optimize tailored formulations using our product.

Our Markets

Lehigh has designed the MRP product ranges to deliver significant value across a variety of markets while reducing the environmental impact of end-of-life tires.

It all comes down to a simple, compelling proposition: green for free.

Across different markets and geographies, Lehigh’s MRP delivers:

• Up to 50 percent lower cost per unit than oil-based materials
• Performance equivalent to or higher than oil-based resins
• Sustainability benefits; each pound of MRP saves 10kWh and decreases CO2 emissions by up to 40 percent vs synthetic rubber equivalent

Today, Lehigh serves a wide range of global markets totaling more than $10 billion in revenue, including asphalt, construction materials, industrial rubber, plastics, polyurethanes and tires. Our chemists and engineers are constantly exploring new applications and markets where MRP can provide compelling benefits.
