In 2024, we have regained our position as primary supplier of mineral rubber (MR) to the rubber compounding, tire, coatings, and ink industries. Ziegler Chemical is now producing rubber mineral for the past customers of Pioneer Asphalt and Tumpeer Chemical Company. Mineral rubber is a highly processed hard asphalt that is ground into a granular powder and offered for sale in bags. It finds wide usage in the rubber industry as an economical extender and plasticizer for natural rubber, reclaim and many types of synthetic rubbers.
In 2020, Ziegler purchased product lines from the now closed Solar Compounds of Linden, NJ. Solar specialized in the supply of wire and cable compounds, as well as paint and lacquers, hot melts, adhesives, electrical potting compounds, and specialty asphalt compounds. As competitors for many years, Ziegler is able to help Solar’s customers.
