Terminal Blended

Handling similar to other modified liquid

PG graded

Minimum mixing or circulation required

Objective

To reduce the disposal cost of used tires and free landfill space

To recycle these used tires in a environmentally friendly manner

To provide a engineered high quality product that will extend the useful life of our road ways

Environmentally Friendly

Use approximately 2,000 car tires per one mile of typical two lane resurfacing

Emissions reduced approximately 10 to 15% over standard asphalt mixes

Reduction of road noise

Enhanced Physical Properties

Increased Rut Resistance

Reduced Reflective Cracking

Reduced Thermal Cracking

Safety

Less fumes at both the HMA plant & the paver, better conditions for workers & public

Less caustic material used for snow/ice control – due to increased thermal properties (it stays blacker longer)

Little or no release agents needed for trucks or clean up of equipment

Workability

Easier compaction

No increase in mixing temperature needed

Easy working with hand tools

Smooth Joints

Little or no modification needed to contractors HMA plant or paving equipment
