Table of using the rubber crumb

Size of the rubber crumb

(in millimetres)

Sphere of application

Volume of additions

 (in %)

Effect

0,1 - 0,2

in the blend of the rubber crumb with other polymers for the waterproofing of soil layers in oil production

cause the decrease of the oil loss

up to 0,2

anti-corrosion pastes

are applied on the car’s bottom and other metal goods for corrosion protection

0,2 - 0,45

rubber blends for the production of new tyre-covers, solid-rubber tyres and other general mechanical rubber goods

5 - 20

raise the tyre resistance to banding influences and hits increasing the term of use

0,6

production of rubber footwear and other general mechanical rubber goods

50 - 70

qualities of such rubber (solidity, deformability) practically don’t differ from those of ordinary rubber made of caoutchouc

0,8

production of reclaim with the help of a thermomechanical method, rubber blends

0,5 – 1,0

used as an addition for the modifications of oil bitumen asphaltic concrete blends used in the road building

about 2% from the mass of the mineral material, i.e. 60-70 tons for 1 km of the road-bed

improve their deformative and frictional qualities. Such additions allow to increase solidity of the pavement and their resistance to hits and bursting, frost-resistance in case of  temperature drops. By this the term of use of road beds increases in 1,5 – 2 times.

0,5 – 1,0

used as a sorbent for the collection of oil and liquid mineral oils from the water surface and soil, for the plugging of oil wells

up to 1,0

for making composition roofing materials (membrane, rubber roofing slate), supports under rails, rubber-bituminous mastics, vulcanized and non-vulcanized roll waterproofing materials

up to 1,4

production of building materials and products, slabs for covering sport areas and racetracks

use in house-building as heat-insulating and soundproof layers in wall panels and flooring

1,0 - 2,0

as a fuel by coal burning
