ELASTIKO® RUBBERIZED ASPHALT INFORMATION:GEOGRAPHIC PROJECT APPLICATIONS
Below is a series of rubberized asphalt information using Elastiko™, a rapidly growing alternative to polymer modification. The product has been:
• Successfully used in multiple states across a wide array of climates.• Applied in a wide range of asphalt mix designs.• Used on full depth replacement, overlay and thinlay […]
Rubberized Asphalt Process
Modified asphalt binders can be a challenge to use in your plant and in the field. They require special delivery and storage, mixes are harder to produce and place, and you have to pay a healthy premium for the terminal-modified binders. Over the past two decades, extensive lab and field work has […]
TRS and Asphalt Plus Expand ElastikoTM ECR Technology
Tyre Recycling Solutions S.A. (TRS) of Préverenges, Switzerland and Asphalt Plus, LLC of Barrington, IL, USA are pleased to announce that they have signed a joint technology development and marketing partnership. This collaboration will permit the manufacture and sale of ElastikoTM Engineered Crumb Rubber (ECR) – a […]

Rubberized Asphalt Pavement
Over the past decade, researchers in the U.S. have tried to develop an approach that will allow the introduction of rubberized asphalt pavement in a way that is both cost-effective and free of the engineering challenges that have limited the use of crumb rubber modifiers (CRM) in the past.
CRM has proven to last longer […]
Rubberized Asphalt History
Rubberized asphalt history is not new but just starting to resurface throughout the US. It is produced from grinding up whole scrap tires from automobiles. Rubberized asphalt consumes an estimated 220,000,000 pounds or around 12 million tires annually. (That number is expected to grow) More and more states are starting to see […]
Michigan Rubber Asphalt Project
Asphalt Plus, LLC conducted a trial rubber asphalt project in Michigan using the Dry Process with Elastiko Engineered Rubber Asphalt. Same as the other successful projects, we recorded the process to show just how the Dry Process of Rubberized Asphalt is as simple as it comes. In the video, we demonstrate […]
I-39 in Beloit, WI Dry Process Rubber Asphalt
In late 2017, WIDOT approved the use of a WIDOT WI-12.5 N75 SMA mix modified with ElastikoTM ECR as an alternative for a polymer modified mix. The project provided the opportunity for WIDOT and the contractor to evaluate the production characteristics of the mix, the accuracy of […]
Crumb Rubber Asphalt, Paving the Way Forward
Dickinson County Road Commission is testing the use of recycled tires in a colder climate. Ask the average lay person how road agencies can reduce road construction and increase pavement longevity and you’ll get a laundry list! Perhaps one of the most common fix-alls the public talks […]
