Rubberized asphalt
Rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC), also known as asphalt rubber or just rubberized asphalt, is noise reducing pavement material that consists of regular asphalt concrete mixed with crumb rubber made from recycled tire.
Application of crumb rubber in asphalt pavements overcomes the used tires disposal problem and achieves materials savings and environmental benefits, due to the reduction of raw material and extension of pavement service life.*

Rubberized bitumen
Rubber bitumen is a binder material used for asphalt mixture production and road construction. It is produced from bitumen and crumb rubber. Rubber crumbs are drawn from waste scrap tires. According to the related ASTM-D 6114 standard, the minimum rubber content of the product should be 15%. Hence, waste tires can be utilized without any further processing.
BENEFITS OF RUBBER BITUMEN
- Longer lifespan
- Lower life-cycle cost (lower maintenance/repair costs)
- Better durability due to better weather and traffic resistance at low and high temperatures:
- less deformation at high temperature (summer)
- better cracking resistance at low temperature (winter)
- Better fatigue characteristics
- Better adhesion to aggregates also improves pavement durability
- Noise reduction effect
- Improved safety due to better skid resistance
- Due to its longer lifespan and less maintenance needed when using rubber bitumen, lower CO2 emissions are produced during asphalt production and road construction.*

Reclaim rubber
rubber recovered from vulcanized scrap rubber (as by grinding old tires and treating with alkali, oils, and plasticizers), often mixed with crude rubber for compounding, and used chiefly in mechanical rubber goods.*
