Description
The use of Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) to modify asphalt binder in paving applications is an environmental goal and for all good reasons. Although such use of GTR is a long established practice commercially, it has been plagued by ongoing issues such as lack of Separation Stability, lack of Elastomeric Properties as measured by Mean Phase Angle
(MPA) and Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), and lack of adequate compaction and workability due to high binder viscosity. These Quality drawbacks have restrained the widespread use of GTR not only in the United States but also globally.
The novel and patented Rheopave Technology is a solution to all of the drawbacks mentioned above and facilitates the use of GTR in applications globally with ease of binder manufacturing and mix performance that matches the “Gold Standard” of Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) modified asphalt binders.
