Product Overview

What Is EnviroPave Rubber Asphalt?

EnviroPave is an innovative dry process crumb rubber modifier solution rooted in established technology that is gaining renewed traction across the U.S. It is created by grinding whole scrap automobile tires into crumb rubber, which is then incorporated into asphalt mixes and laid during paving.

As the largest market for recycled tires, rubberized asphalt puts approximately 220 million pounds, or around 12 million tires, to use each year. With rising interest, more states are rediscovering and refining this method to meet modern infrastructure demands.

EnviroPave Rubber Asphalt gives asphalt producers and road managers a practical way to improve pavement performance, support recycled tire use, and reduce reliance on more expensive modification methods.

Why EnviroPave Matters

Why Choose EnviroPave Rubber Asphalt?

EnviroPave is a hot mix asphalt modification solution that is distinct from traditional liquid additives. Over 4 million tons of dry-process crumb rubber enhanced asphalt have delivered exceptional performance in demanding climates and traffic conditions for more than a decade.

Compared to polymer-modified asphalt, EnviroPave offers plant-side advantages. Polymer mixes can be sticky and difficult to handle, often leading to slower production and system buildup. EnviroPave is designed to run clean through your plant, improving efficiency and reducing operational headaches.

EnviroPave Process

How the EnviroPave Process Works

EnviroPave integrates into your existing hot mix production process without specialized equipment. Rubber particles interact with the asphalt binder during mixing and transport to produce a modified pavement at a lower cost.

Hot mix asphalt production process for EnviroPave Rubber Asphalt
Step 01

Crumb Rubber Is Metered Into Production

The rubber modifier is added alongside other mix components during standard hot mix asphalt production.

Step 02

Rubber Particles Interact With Binder

The rubber particles interact with the heated asphalt binder during mixing, storage, and transport.

Step 03

Modified Pavement Is Produced

The result is a rubberized asphalt mix that can rival polymer-modified performance at a lower cost.
