Rubberised asphalt has long been a target for recycled materials, rubber and polymers being used to improve performance is a long-standing technology
The use of rubber as a bitumen modifier is not a new technology, though there are new technologies around the concept, such as Recykl’s Smapol bitumen modifier that includes textile fibres to improve the strength of the asphalt.
Adding rubber, creates greater flexibility to asphalt, it helps it absorb impacts, and it minimises damage from extremes of weather, making the asphalt frost resistant, which is where most of the cracking damag...
