Crumb Rubber

Overview

Crumb Rubber is the result of the third station in the ECO Green lineup. At this stage, wire-free rubber mulch is processed into a uniform granule with all steel and fiber removed. Crumb Rubber is typically found in 3/8” – 400 microns (0.400 mm) in size.

Crumb Rubber has numerous uses from landscaping and playgrounds to engineering applications. Many athletic fields and sporting surfaces utilize crumb rubber as a soft and absorbent layer. Numerous rubber modified asphalt roadways and rubber sealants also use crumb rubber as a main ingredient.
