Defense applications subject components to conditions that demand reliable bonding between rubber and metal. Vibration isolating mounts, shock absorbing assemblies, and rubber bonded structural components are found throughout military vehicles, weapons systems, and equipment platforms. When these components are replaced, refurbished, or taken out of service, they carry metal value that standard scrap disposal does not recover.
PolyMet Recovery processes rubber bonded and adhesive bonded metal components from defense applications through controlled debonding and denuding. We recover the metal substrate cleanly and document everything from intake through settlement, with the chain of custody records that defense program managers and facility compliance teams require. Material is handled with appropriate segregation to support DFARS tracking obligations and internal disposition requirements.
Defense scrap is not always straightforward to handle through conventional channels, and the consequences of mishandling controlled materials are significant. PolyMet offers a reclamation pathway specifically suited to the complexity of defense-generated rubber bonded scrap, with documentation practices designed to meet the reporting standards your program requires rather than the minimum a general recycler would provide.
