CRM® PRODUCTS

 

 

 

 

 

CRM®GTR crumb

CRM®GTR crumb rubber can be used in many applications, adding characteristics that improve the properties of finished products as well as reducing costsby replacing more expensive virgin compounds. We use advanced mechanical, cryogenic and ambient technologies to produce crumb rubber from whole scrap tires to custom sizes ranging from 8 mesh (2.36 mm) to finely ground crumb rubber of 90 mesh (0.178 mm).

FACT:

million tires produced in the U.S. & Canada per year

 

Rubberized asphalt

Realizing the necessity for superior asphalt pavement due to increasing public and commercial truck traffic volume, CRM®was one of the first pioneers to use crumb rubber as an additive to asphalt cement (bitumen), which results in longer service life of pavements for a more cost-effective alternative to our road and highway systems.

With usage of rubber asphalt products for over 20 years, the California public roadway agencies experience a 20% savings to roadway construction and repair and have over 22,000 lane miles of rubberized asphalt roads in service. Rubberized asphalt is currently the pavement of choice by CalTrans. CRM® is a CalTrans Authorized Material Supplier of Crumb Rubber Modifier for use in Asphalt Rubber Binder Chip Seal and Rubberized Hot Mix Asphalt (RHMA).

Cost savings achieved for California road paving by using rubberized asphalt over the past two decades

 

SYNTHETIC TURF INFILL

As one of the original GTR crumb rubber infill suppliers to the synthetic turf industry, CRM®provides competitively priced superior GTR crumb rubber infill for use in synthetic sports fields, running tracks, parks and residential uses. We can supply ambient, cryogenic, or color-coated infill with customized specifications and packaging across North America. CRM®is a certified infill supplier by the Synthetic Turf Council.

FACT:

thousand synthetic turf sports fields are in use in the U.S.

SUSTAINABILITY

CRM® supports higher value recycling options for tires to ensure that they are no longer dumped in landfills, or left illegally in lakes, abandoned lots, highways or sensitive habitats. More than 90 percent of scrap tires are now being recycled through the use of rubberized asphalt, synthetic turf applications, rubber molded products and other high-value manufacturing options.

Greenhouse Gasses & Emissions

Recycling saves impressive amounts of energy, which ultimately reduces greenhouse gas emissions. For example, recycling four tires reduces CO2 by about 323 pounds, which is the equivalent to the emissions released from 18 gallons of gasoline. Using recycled rubber in molded products, for example, creates a substantially smaller (by a factor of up to 20 times) carbon footprint as compared to using virgin plastic resins.

Environmental Benefits of Using Crumb Rubber Infill

According to the Synthetic Turf Council, Crumb rubber infill used in synthetic turf play fields diverts about 30 million used car and truck tires form landfills, conserves billions of gallons of water by reducing the need to irrigate, and avoids the use of pesticides and fertilizers.

Rubberized Asphalt as a Solution to End-of-Life Tires

Modifying just 20% of the 300 million tons of Hot Mix Asphalt with crumb rubber will recycle at least 50% of the end-of-life tires generated in the U.S. each year.

Successful Rubberized Asphalt Programs

The California Department of Transportation has a policy to pave top surface roadways with rubber modified asphalt, which is approximately 35% of its annual asphalt consumption. To date, California has successfully converted over. 22,000 miles of its roadway system to rubber modified asphalt.
