Transforming Tires into High Value Silicone Products
EnRoute Interfaces’ proprietary process & technology allows us to modify the surface chemistry of low value used tire rubber so that they can be added to silicone products to reduce cost without losing the properties of the silicones they are added to.
About
Welcome to Enroute Interfaces Inc., where we modify waste tire rubber to be used as inexpensive filling agents for silicone products without changing their properties. Our approach focuses on sustainability, innovation, and efficiency, leading the way in environmental consciousness within the silicone industry.

Our Technology
Enroute Interfaces' patented process & chemistry transforms used tire crumb into a valuable additive for silicone products by chemically modifying its surface. This allows the crumb to blend seamlessly with silicone, mimicking its properties without altering the final product's performance. By incorporating up to 80% modified crumb, we significantly cut silicone material costs by 20-70%, depending on the application and stage of incorporation. This innovative approach not only offers substantial savings across the supply chain—from silicone product manufacturers to roofers—but also champions environmental sustainability by repurposing waste. Our technology presents a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution for enhancing silicone-based applications.
Technology Benefits
High Value Use
of Used Tires
Every year, North America faces the challenge of disposing of 3.7 billion kilograms of used tires with no high value environmentally friendly outputs other than pyrolytic burning or filler in low value products
Up to 80% Tire
Crumb Integration
Our unique and patented process allows the integration of up to 80% modified used tire crumb as a filler into high value silicone products at any stage of the supply chain from the manufacturing level to the end user without altering the silicone properties.
20-70% Material Cost
Savings
With the cost of used tire crumb so low, and our streamlined patented process for modifying the tire crumb, allows customers at all stages of the supply chain to create cost savings on raw materials of 20-70%+ when our modified crumb is added as a filling agent.
8kg CO2 saved
from Atmosphere
For every 1kg of modified crumb used in silicone products, we prevent 8kg of CO2 entering the atmosphere. Traditional manufacturing of silicone is highly carbon-intensive, emitting 5kg of CO2 for every 1kg of silicone produced and recycling 1kg of tire crumb prevents an additional 3kg.
EnRoute Interfaces Inc. is driven by a trio of visionaries whose combined expertise and innovative thinking are steering the company towards a sustainable future in the silicone industry. Their unique blend of academic excellence, groundbreaking research, and entrepreneurial success forms the backbone of our mission to revolutionize material sciences through sustainability.
