MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621112039 A) filed by Parul University Parul Institute Of Liberal Arts on September 18, 2026, for Polymer Composite Sanitary Ware System From Recycled Automobile Tires.
Inventors include Dr. Asok Biswas; Dr. Digvijay Pandya; Ms. Jagriti Dogra; Dr. Maninder Singh; and Mr. Mohit Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT A polymer composite sanitary ware system comprises a sanitary ware body formed from recycled automobile tire-derived rubber material (30-75 wt.%) combined with a polymeric matrix material (15-50 wt.%). The composite material may include reinforcing fibers, compatibilizers, and mineral fillers. The sanitary ware body comprises a bowl region, waste outlet region, mounting region, and plumbing interface region configured for installation and connection to water supply and drainage systems. A sanitary surface coating is disposed on the interior bowl surface to provide water resistance, stain resistance, and hygienic properties. The system is manufactured by mechanically processing end-of-life automobile tires, compounding the tire-derived rubber with the polymeric matrix, molding under controlled pressure and temperature, and applying the sanitary surface coating. The invention achieves weight reduction (30-50%), superior impact resistance, low water absorption, and circular economy benefits through conversion of waste automobile tires into durable sanitary products.
