In the funeral industry the methods for preventing fluids from leaving a casket leave room for improvement as these fluids are still finding their way into the environment causing contamination. The purpose of Rubber Coating is to prevent the leaking of human decomposed body fluids. The Rubber Coating casket liners, trays, filler and sealant improves and preserves the quality of the product that is the casket, the mausoleum, and the burial vault.
Rubber Coating is a liquid rubber manufactured from old worn out vehicle tires. This “green” invention takes advantage of used tires to create a very useful and versatile rubber liquid used in making Funeral Casket liners, Casket trays, and a Rubber Coating spray for concrete burial vaults.
Rubber Coating is waterproof and UV-Resistant when applied to any surface. Rubber Coating will be made according to its use. It can be made into a thick sticky liquid rubber when squeezed through a specially shaped mold and cooled then it quickly hardens in the mold to take its shape. The product prevents separation and cracking. It will also be a filler and a sealant. Rubber Coating will also be made into five different textures: Smooth, Medium, Coarse, Rough, Grainy. The product is environmentally safe. Rubber Coating has been formulated to provide long lasting protection because of its excellent flexibility in all temperatures. Rubber casket liners and casket rubber trays will prevent human decomposed body fluids from leaking into our environment thus preventing further contamination of our grounds and our water. The sealant may be used in a number of different applications while also helping to keep used rubber tires out of landfills, lakes, and rivers.

Used tire rubber is put through a special process to create the liquid rubber. (See attached form from The Tata Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Chemical devulcanization is used in the process to revert the tire rubber structure and its characteristics back to those of a liquid rubber thus allowing it to be reformulated into a new product. The liquid rubber is poured into a mold and allowed to dry, and take its form to produce a liner (
