Source of peptizer

[Kirsten Koepsel <kkoepsel@arrirs04.uta.edu>]

Greetings,

The following is from a request that was passed on to me.

Does anyone have a name of a chemical used in tire recycling called a 
peptizer?
 According to Comptons Encyclopedia the peptizer is used to 
soften the rubber of the tire before it is shredded.

I have tried calling local chemical suppliers and they have no idea 
about what a peptizer is. The requester would prefer a supplier in 
Dallas but will take any source of peptizer.

I am interested in a trade name which might make it easier to track 
down and a company selling it, if possible.

Thanks.
