Welcome to N. Evans and Associates Inc.
About N. Evans and Associates Inc.: N. Evans and Associates Inc. is company that has been formed in collaboration with Neil Evans, the recognized person who developed and perfected the XyloX™ Intellectual Property over a number of years. Neil Evans has been acknowledged in numerous technical publications and is recognized in the Library of Congress in the USA for his accomplishments with respect to utilizing recycled rubber and plastic to produce thermal plastic elastomers (TPE) pellets to be used for injection moulding of parts. The principles in N. Evans & Associates, have worked closely with Neil to fully understand the raw material requirements, material handling and equipment control required in the process and the setting up of the extruders to maintain product quality while maximizing plant productivity.
XyloX™ Technology:
Is a revolutionary form of thermoplastic elastomer that is made from
100% recycled products, reprocessed tire rubber and recycled
post-industrial and post-consumer plastic.
The proprietary compounding process uses fine crumb rubber and
recycled plastic to create a molecular bond of the polymer chains. This
is accomplished without the use of additional bonding agents providing a
consistent and repeatable material.
Value Proposition:
The value proposition for XyloX™ is multifaceted.
From a “green” perspective, it is manufactured from
100% recycled material.
Moulded products manufactured
from XyloX™ and moulding scrap are also 100% recyclable,
reducing landfill requirements for used tires, post industrial and post
consumer plastic and injection moulded products made from traditional
TPE.
Parts moulded using the XyloX™ resin can be produced at lower
temperatures than conventional TPE. This reduces energy costs, results
in faster cycle times in removing moulds and results less wear and tear
on the molds in comparison to (TPE) manufactured from virgin materials.
Independent Product testing:
Test runs have been performed at various compounders and injection
moulders using XyloX™ resin pellets, and various manufacturers of
extrusion and injection molded products in the appliance, automotive,
and recreational industry. XyloX™ was used in place of the commonly used
virgin resins in the production of specific finished products. The
product has been tested in various accredited laboratories in Canada and
the US that have confirmed that the process has very unique properties
when compared to traditional virgin TPE.
