Steel Friction Rubber Scrap
Sell or Source with Speed and Confidence
Steel friction rubber scrap refers to rubber materials reinforced with embedded steel wires, typically derived from the sidewalls and treads of used or processed tires. Unlike textile-based friction materials, steel friction contains metal content that adds weight and value—especially in applications like pyrolysis or cement kilns.
The rubber is often compressed, baled, or loosely packed, and may originate from:
Tire production overruns
Industrial shredding lines
Retreading plants
Rejected batches or quality control waste
What makes this scrap valuable is its high calorific potential, steel recoverability, and reusability in energy-intensive industries.
Steel friction rubber scrap is a high-demand industrial material sourced primarily from tire manufacturing, retreading, and recycling processes. Characterized by embedded steel wires within compressed rubber layers, this scrap type is used in pyrolysis, energy recovery, and alternative fuel applications across global industries.
Whether you’re holding production leftovers, factory scrap, or post-consumer rubber material, identifying qualified buyers can be slow, opaque, and risky. That’s where Ruberin steps in.
Ruberin connects suppliers of steel friction rubber scrap directly with verified industrial buyers—without registrations, complex platforms, or wasted time. If you have steel wire rubber scrap ready to sell, we’ll get your material in front of serious buyers within 24 hours.
Steel friction rubber scrap isn’t a by-product everyone handles—it’s typically found in specific stages of the rubber and tire recycling chain. If your business deals with any of the following operations, you’re likely sitting on valuable steel wire rubber scrap that global buyers are actively sourcing:
Tire Retreading Facilities
These plants generate tire scrap with steel during buffing and casing rejection processes.
Rubber Scrap Yards and Traders
Aggregators collecting mixed rubber often come across rubber scrap with metal content, especially in regions where tire recycling is informal but growing.
Tire Manufacturers (Factory Waste)
Overruns and quality control rejections often contain embedded steel, making it ideal steel friction rubber scrap for industrial reuse.
Pyrolysis and Shredding Units
These operations extract steel wire rubber scrap early in the breakdown process, often before full material conversion.
Exporters of Secondary Raw Materials
Especially in Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America, where tire-derived products are exported for energy recovery.
Have steel rubber scrap from any of these sources? Don’t let it sit idle—buyers exist, and Ruberin can help you access them directly.
To help you sell steel rubber fast and with minimal hassle, Ruberin connects you only with buyers who are actively sourcing and ready to close. Here’s what these buyers typically expect when sourcing rubber scrap with metal content:

Clean bales or organized loose piles
Excess dust, soil, or moisture = rejected
Steel Content
Ideally 15–25% embedded wire
Not loose steel, but wire fully integrated within the rubber
Purity
Minimal textile or fabric presence
No mixed rubber types, wood, or plastic
Volume Expectations
Minimum 23 tons preferred for serious offers
Consistency over time increases interest
