A working business idea is to make a rubber crumb coating. Production of rubber tiles and paving stones from crumb rubber

The production of rubber tiles and paving stones is a fairly new, but demanded direction, for which experts predict great prospects. Already today it is a relevant and profitable production, the products of which are in great demand, and the scope is constantly expanding.

Main product properties

Products are made on the basis of crushed rubber crumb. You can get such raw materials by recycling car covers that have expired.

Rubber paving has a number of advantages over other coatings:

• long term operation (at least 20 years);
• safety;
• environmental friendliness;
• possibility of manufacturing various forms and flowers;
• ease of installation;
• aesthetics;
• practicality - the tile has a rough surface, so it does not allow slipping, does not accumulate moisture, etc.

Applications:

• for playgrounds and children's paths;
• flooring in the garage;
• parking;
• for landscape design;
• Treadmills;
• installation of swimming pools, etc.

Stages of building a business

Rubber tiles are called a kind of know-how on Russian market, so there are very few competitors, and this niche can be considered free.

Business plan for the production of rubber tiles from crumb rubber:

1. market analysis;
2. building a development concept;
3. registration of permits;
4. rent or purchase of premises;
5. purchase of equipment;
6. recruitment;
7. marketing;
8. quality control.

Raw material base

You can get raw materials at domestic factories that process car crumbs (called crushed rubber).

The cost of the raw material base depends on the quality of the material, the pricing policy of the plant, the size of the fractions, and the color. Black crumb costs about 17-20 thousand rubles per ton, color - 27-30 thousand rubles.

Production technology of paving rubber tiles and paving stones

Production stages:

1. preparatory stage - preparation of the working substance from crushed crumbs, glue and dye;
2. placing the resulting substance in molds;
3. pressing with a vulcanizing press;
4. heat treatment;
5. unloading the form;
6. control of the given form and quality parameters;
7. package;
8. warehousing.

Financial calculations

Capital expenditures for the purchase of a mini-factory will be:

• purchase and installation of equipment - 1,900,000 rubles;
• preparation of the premises - 80,000 rubles;
• registration of permits - 20,000 rubles.

In total, 2 million rubles will be needed to launch the project.

Features of the enterprise:

• work will be done in shifts;
• the duration of the shift will be 8 hours;
• shift performance - 45 m² of tiles;
• number of working days per month - 20;
• average monthly productivity - 900 m².
• the cost of 1 m² of tiles (thickness 40 mm) - 1020 rubles.

The cost includes the cost of purchasing raw materials, tax and utility costs, as well as wages for workers.

Based on the given parameters, we calculate the profitability of the project:

• sales price (1 m²) - 1450 rubles.
• gross income - 430 rubles / m²;
• monthly profit - 900 m² x 430 rubles. = 387,000 rubles;
• payback period - from 6 months.

Business registration

To draw up permits, you need to decide on the organizational and legal form (IP or LLC) and select a taxation system:

• general;
• patent;
• simplification (USN);
• UTII (for imputed income).

This stage is simple and will take from one to several weeks. The next stage is obtaining permits from the Fire Inspectorate and the SanEpidemStation. Also for further work it is necessary to issue a certificate of conformity for rubber tiles. This document will confirm the quality of products and compliance with all state standards. The cost of processing such a document will be 6-18 thousand rubles.

Requirements for the premises

You can organize a workshop in the suburbs, on the site of warehouse or industrial buildings. It is important to comply with the following criteria:

• total area - from 100 m²;
• ceiling height - from 3 m;
• connection to the necessary communications: water and electricity (380 V);
• convenient transport interchange;
• availability of heating.

When searching for and repairing the necessary premises, ask the Fire Inspectorate and SES authorities for requirements.

Reviews:

I have been manufacturing rubber tiles for about 7 years. As the main component in our small enterprise, we use car tire recycling products - that is, rubber crumb. The workshop is quite large, equipped with decent equipment (we got all this as a result of a fortunate combination of circumstances).
In general, due to the growing demand, the production of tiles from old tires is gaining momentum. Such products are used as coatings everywhere: in own houses, administrative municipal organizations, stadiums and sports schools, in entertainment centers And shopping malls. All of these are our main clients (in addition to the private consumer).
The technology used to produce rubber flooring is relatively inexpensive and does not require as many specific ingredients as, say, the production of classic paving slabs. And, since the basis of rubber products is used tires, it compares favorably with an extremely low cost.
The most necessary are special crushers for grinding old tires. In addition to rubber crumb of fine fraction, the product requires:
universal waterproof glue;
dyes;
converting fillers.
Glue in the manufacture of rubber tiles plays essential role connecting element. As a result of its action, the substance acquires a consistency convenient for molding.
In general, there are two main in the best possible way proven technologies for the production of such tiles, which are used in our production:
1. As a result of mechanical crushing with the help of special cutters, tires are crushed to the size of a crumb. This is the most popular method and is used by all my competitors (including myself). It is convenient, first of all, due to the cheapness of the required equipment;
2. Crushing by shock waves is carried out by placing car tires in special chambers, where they are subjected to destructive effects using special equipment. Such machines are equipped with special automation and require practical skills in working using program control.
In our production of rubber tiles, we use mechanical way making crumbs, which includes the following steps:
a metal ring is taken out of the tire;
the workpiece itself is cut into strips 3–5 cm wide (narrower if possible);
the resulting tapes are crushed to crumbs with a fraction of 1 to 5 mm.
There are several methods. The main ones can be classified as cold and hot processing.
The first method is carried out by vulcanization at a temperature of 65 to 85 degrees. This requires special thermal cabinets necessary for the implementation of the "baking" of the crumbs. Such technological process for a private manufacturer, it is quite inconvenient, since it requires a lot of time and effort (mainly for proper processing of the material). The cost of such products cannot be called low, because cabinets require a lot of energy to function. At the same time, the tiles are of very high quality. So for those who are primarily focused on the quality of their products and focus on long-term orders in the future, I recommend this particular method.
The "cold" method of manufacturing rubber tiles is usually used by manufacturers producing durable products. This tile is qualitatively resistant to negative impacts low temperatures.
During hot processing, raw materials are subjected to vulcanization processes in a special press, where a constant temperature of 135–140 degrees is maintained. This is the most common technology, which has a number of advantages:
speed (the whole procedure lasts no more than half an hour);
low cost (the purchased raw materials are very cheap, which as a result favorably affects the pricing policy of a competent manufacturer);
cheap equipment (you can start right away with serious volumes and purchase several special molding presses for this at once).
The technology for the production of rubber tiles in general takes place in several stages.
1. Preparatory. As mentioned above, before starting the process of manufacturing products, it is necessary to prepare raw materials.
2. Mixing of components. IN special devices raw materials are loaded: rubber crumb, glue, transforming fillers and dyes.
3. Molding. The resulting mixture is poured into molds and then pressed.
4. Baking. The blanks pressed according to the "cold" method are installed in heating cabinets, where they are subjected to the influence of heat treatment. After "hot" vulcanization, the products are also baked, but with more high temperatures.
In the manufacture of rubber tiles, special importance is attached to the size of the rubber crumb, because. the physical and mechanical characteristics of products directly depend on this.
As you could already understand from everything I said above, this production requires, albeit not expensive, but special equipment that cannot be done by hand. So, my modest mini-line includes:
1. Volcanic press. Depending on the maximum temperature such devices and its capabilities for processing products, distinguish between "cold" and "hot" presses, average cost which ranges from 350 to 400 thousand rubles.
2. Molds. For production in small volumes, no more than four or five pieces are required.
3. Mixer. Rubber tiles require a very high quality building apparatus with a centrifuge.
4. Heating cabinet.
In addition, auxiliary structures may be needed. These include a molding table, stands for the most convenient fixing of workpieces and platforms on which mixers will be located. However, in order to start your own business, at first you can do without it.

I have been manufacturing rubber crumb tiles for a long time and quite successfully. There is a lot of conflicting information on the Internet regarding this type of business, and I would like to clarify some points that will help budding entrepreneurs understand all the nuances of this type of activity. When organizing a workshop for the production of coatings from recycled tires or other rubber products You don't have to solve complex problems! The technology and equipment are simple and do not require academic knowledge. But closer to the topic!

1. Proper organization of production will allow you to eliminate all negative points. The main problems arise at the stage of registration of the production itself - obtaining permission from Rospotrebnadzor, environmental services, etc. But here everything is solved. Of course, the attitude of the state towards small business in our country is far from ideal, but the result is more beautiful - through thorns to the stars!
2. Raw materials - that's another problem! Cheap is bad, quality is expensive. But in the process of work, you will surely form your own base of optimal suppliers of crumbs and consumables, whose price and quality correspond to an acceptable option.
3. Many say that the production of rubber tiles and paving stones is harmful and traumatic. Of course, any work with rubber, polyurethane and dyes must be done with basic safety precautions, but you can get injured just walking on the street!
4. next moment: There is an opinion that crumb rubber tiles have huge shrinkage and get stable square shape impossible! Nonsense! Yes, there is shrinkage within 2 mm, but it is completely uniform and does not affect the shape of the product.
5. And finally, before you rush into battle, think over the issue of implementation. This is the main thing in this business, as in any other! There are many areas of use for rubber tiles: landscaping, coverage of sports facilities and swimming pools, stops public transport etc. Find your niche.

In conclusion, I will say that a well-established production and marketing of rubber tiles and paving stones brings good profit. For example, we have already saved up money to purchase tire recycling equipment - we will have our own high-quality raw materials!

Good afternoon and evening, dear entrepreneurs of Russia and Russian-speaking countries! The production of rubber tiles, paving stones and other types of coatings is a promising business, but at the moment it is slowed down by seasonality. I myself have a small production in a room of 100 square meters. meters, that's why I know what I'm talking about! There is no regularity of orders. In winter, my shop is most often idle! Of course, there are happy owners of patrons from the mighty of the world this, which drain them orders from the public sector, but this is an exception, not the rule.

Our production, as I said, is idle in winter. Of course, you can produce products for storage, and sell them during the season, but this requires large own funds, which most start-up entrepreneurs do not have. Vicious circle it turns out! Well, as for profitability - the production of rubber coatings is a profitable business. If it were not for the seasonality of sales, I would have saved up long ago working capital for uninterrupted year-round operation. It is unprofitable to take loans - I will continue to save!

Good day! I bought used Equipment for the production of rubber tiles by cold pressing in installments from a businessman I know. The thing is that I have no experience in this business and this entrepreneur also, since he took this Equipment on account of a debt from his debtor, I don’t know all the subtleties of this transaction of theirs. So I decided to do this not a tricky business, but the whole point is that there is no cooking recipe this product and I have already ruined almost 35 m2 of this finished tile. The tile crumbles and, when you press the break, it breaks at all, no matter how I searched for the recipe, I still can’t find it. Here is the recipe for my last batch of 5m2: 117.5kg of crumbs, 6kg of glue made a single-layer tile 500 * 500 * 30mm, the result was negative. I tried glue from different companies, one was old, I got it with equipment, the second glue I bought from the officials intended for these cases. Please tell me who knows, but it’s better to leave at least a contact to contact you. There are very few funds left, but it was planned as my main income, that is, I have no other source of income. I ask again for help

So many interesting solutions appeared in the field of flooring materials. The rapid development of science and technology has made it possible to invent new products that have confidently pushed traditional solutions. Most different products impress demanding consumers. You can find an option for a task of any complexity. Some materials impress with their aesthetics. Others in a good way please us with practicality and durability. There are solutions for every financial opportunity. Among others, a product that is created on the basis of rubber is of interest. The amazing rubber that has been used by man for decades has proven to be versatile in flooring applications. Of course, it is important to choose it correctly, depending on the purpose of the object. The manufacturer also plays a key role. rubber coating: a lot of companies have chosen such a niche for themselves.

Prices for rubber coating for sports and playgrounds:

What is important to know about the material.

Rubber perfectly serves a person in the very different form. It is used in the manufacture of for various purposes: from children's toys to the most sophisticated equipment. The widest range of applications of rubbers, both synthetic and natural, is explained by their amazing qualities.

Rubber is durable and wear resistant. It has excellent damping properties. She is rightly credited with the ability to absorb noise and vibration. The material withstands temperature changes, up to thermal effects. Rubber is resistant to chemistry, is not afraid of ultraviolet radiation.

Of course, each area has its own requirements for rubber. And if we talk about laying on the floor, then here the selection is carried out especially carefully. A responsible rubber coating manufacturer is aware of the importance of choosing the right raw materials. After all, increased loads fall on the floor by default. But rubber surfaces can be found underfoot at objects of any purpose: up to industrial and agricultural ones. Accordingly, the tests can be the most severe for flooring.

Through trial and error, it has been achieved optimal solution. It turned out that the floor, which includes crumbs from car tires, shows itself best in operation. Initially, these products are made from selected rubbers. After all, tires are subject to very high loads. And even when the tread is worn out, the tire becomes unusable, the rubber still retains all its most valuable properties. So it can and should be used in the manufacture of floors at facilities for any purpose.

How the material is produced and stacked.

Floor covering begins with the processing of rubber raw materials. There are several types of equipment that are used to solve this problem. Each manufacturer chooses it at its discretion. It is possible with the help modern units turn old tires into perfect crumbs. The tire is not just crushed: it is very important to clean it from metal cord and textiles. It depends on how high-quality and safe the rubber floor will turn out.

To connect the crumbs, polyurethane glue is used. This is a one-component composition that is completely harmless to humans and the environment. Not all manufacturers produce it on their own: you can buy a ready-made mass, which remains to be launched into the process. Plus, pigments or a special EPDM crumb are added to the composition. Such granules are already colored due to a special processing. It is possible to create materials and bright, colorful, as well as in pleasant pastel shades.

Each manufacturer of rubber coatings knows very well how important it is to correctly calculate the proportional ratio of the components for the material. The polyurethane adhesive should be in moderation so that it envelops all the granules, providing excellent adhesion between them.

The production process consists in making a mixture of all components. Then the mass can be used either for the manufacture of slabs, paving stones and rolls for quick laying, or for pouring areas. In the first case, a mass of polyurethane glue, dye and crumbs is sent to special forms. In the second, the components are brought to the site, where they are connected immediately before installation. Because polyurethane adhesive begins to harden as soon as it comes into contact with air.

Rubber materials can and should be used in various fields. They are versatile, unpretentious, very durable. But the impression of the product is different: not all consumers were lucky enough to meet a responsible manufacturer. There are companies that buy cheaper components, the result is a floor of dubious quality. Yes, there are complaints about bad smell coming from the surface. Some coatings are quickly disappointing because they crack, crumble, and withstand minimal loads.

Fractionated crumb rubber is the basic raw material for rubber tiles and flooring. This raw material is actually taken from waste, or rather, it is obtained by processing old worn tires from cars. Car tires are made from fairly expensive components. High Quality (various oils, synthetic rubber, fillers), since these products must withstand enormous loads for a very long period of time.

Of all existing species tire rubber, in its structure, stands out for its high strength and durability. Such rubber easily tolerates the ingress of acid and alkaline solutions on its surface, is very elastic, does not stretch, does not bend and is able to withstand temperatures from -45 to + 60 degrees.

raw material:
Automobile crumb (or crushed rubber - RD) - is mined as a result of the processing of worn tires of other rubber goods. Its price depends on such indicators as: quality, method of manufacture, dimensions, place of manufacture and sale. In Russia, the retail price per crumb fluctuates between 6-15 rubles per kilogram.

Places of rubber crumb production:
- factories that process car tires in crumbs, as the main raw material;
- for side production at RTI factories
- factories that restore tires by roughening them (tread processing), as a waste product.

Used crumb rubber fractions:
Fractions of crumb rubber vary from 0.1 mm to 10 mm and directly depend on their purpose. Thus, fractions of a small type (0.1 - 4 mm) are mainly used in the production of colorless (black) or colored single-layer products. In the manufacture of the lower colored layers, mainly fractions of a larger nature (2-10 mm) are used. Most often, they are cheaper compared to smaller fractions, as they may contain textile or metal inclusions. The production of tiles with two layers (the upper thin colored layer, the lower dark layer with large crumb fractions) is acceptable and relevant when the initial thickness of the product exceeds 1.5 cm.

Layering allows you to reduce the cost of the product due to the following points:
. Inclusion in the composition of a cheap large fraction of crumbs. Such a crumb may contain textile or other inclusions.
. The housekeeper on the paint - the bottom layer remains black.
. Larger crumb fractions require a smaller amount of binder for their crosslinking, which is carried out by enveloping the surface of the crumb particle
. The absence of a dye allows the use of less binder for crosslinking the particles, since the mixture dries out in the colored crumb.

Equipment and raw materials (prices)

The line, which produces rubber coatings, has the following set of equipment:

Volcanic press with a capacity of up to 100 m² per day. Price - about 350 thousand rubles;

Press molds. Cost - 30 thousand rubles a piece;

Drying chamber (for a mini business, it is possible to make it yourself), price from 100,000 rubles.

Raw material:

Rubber crumb - black (17 thousand rubles per ton), colored (from 23 to 35 thousand);
. polyurethane glue - 140 rubles / kg;
. dyes - 7 rubles per kg;

Consumption of electricity by the line - 15 15 kW/h.

Coatings can be made:
- both soft and hard in density;
- waterproof, or with the passage of water (drainage);
- thin and thick;
- as colorless (black), colored, or black with inclusions different color;
- with good grip, and more slippery;
- with or without a pattern;
- single-layer or with several layers;
- for laying on a soft base (soil) or hard;
- with connections (sleeve, lock) or without them.

Paving rubber tiles are often laid in parallel with the usual paving slabs. It is for this combination that rubber coatings of similar sizes and shapes are created, as regular tile for the sidewalk.

A room for a mini tile production workshop.
Criteria for the production of rubber coatings (provided that the equipment is optimal and has an average level of performance):

General axioms:

1. Glue consumption.
§ The amount of binder is inversely related to the crumb fraction. The smaller the crumb, the more binder is needed for crosslinking. The larger, the smaller.
§ Dyes dry the glue. Because of this, its amount in the black coating is smaller.
§ The higher the density of the product, the less glue is needed.
2. Average consumption of glue for manufacturing various coatings from 4 to 12% depending on the presence / absence of dye, the density of the materials, the quality of the adhesive, and the size of the tire crumb used.

For example, to make a color coating Mat 500 * 500 * 16mm (from crumbs of fine fraction), you need 6% dye and 5% glue from the amount of rubber crumb.
a) Black coating (crumb size - 4-10mm) - 4% glue.
b) Black coating (crumb size - 2-3 mm) - 5% glue.
c) Black coating (crumb size - 1.2-1.8 mm) - 6% glue.
d) Color coating (crumb size - 1.2-1.8 mm) - 7-9% glue.
3. Water resistance increases, the smaller the crumb rubber fraction and the higher the pressure.
4. The larger the crumb, the faster the color of the product will be lost due to abrasion.
5. The larger the crumb, the stronger the coating, but the thickness of the coating must be observed.
6. Thick coatings (2 cm or more) are best made in two layers. For the upper part, use a crumb of a fine fraction, for the lower part - a cheaper crumb of a large fraction (5-12 mm) with possible foreign inclusions. Each layer has its own proportions of glue. Each layer is kneaded in different containers.
7. On the same pressing mechanism, it is recommended to produce products of the same thickness, regardless of the configuration, since the thickness affects the time of the press (the thinner the product, the faster its formation).

Additional accessories for production.

Trolley to transport raw materials (crumbs, dye).
- Trolley with a special stand to transport containers with glue.
- Scales to weigh components (preferably 50 kg electronic).
- Trowels for uniform laying of coverings.

As you can see, the release of such products is part of an ecosystem, dealing in high-quality safety products - rubber tiles or crumb coating.

Production of crumb rubber tiles:

Today, one of the important industries in our country is the production of crumb rubber from tires.

It is the main material for the production various items.

Recently, a number of laws have been adopted in Russia, which significantly improves the conditions for the manufacture of raw materials, and in general changes the climate in this type of business.

In the article we will tell you what can be made from crumb rubber and in what areas it is used.

When converting tires into crumb rubber, there is an integral and associated type of entrepreneurship - this is the production and sale of finished products.

To acquire sustainable profits with this type of business take into account the inevitable risks.

Let us consider in more detail the use of these products in the national economy.

Rubber seamless

Manufacturers in the field of tire crumb processing have created unique seamless coatings, which are a filler floor with specific properties.

The technique for making it is to use special composition from crumb rubber with mixing of polyurethane and coloring elements.

This coating is environmentally friendly, it odorless and harmful substances.

The spheres of use of rubber sheets are very wide: they cover playgrounds for sports and children's activities, the area near the swimming pool, and for ennobling parks.

And, undoubtedly, it has a number of advantages over other coatings:

1. Long service life from 25 to 45 years.
2. Safety for people and animals.
3. Providing a secure grip. This greatly reduces the risk of falling while driving.
4. Waterproof flooring, which ensures quick drying after precipitation.
5. Product attractiveness. A wide range of colors allows you to make its decoration limitless.
6. Flat and smooth surface.

Such qualities of the material make it invaluable in the arrangement of stadiums and various playgrounds. It has found wide application at the entrance to houses, in the foyer, on stairs and ramps.

Treadmills

The flooring of such a product belongs to professional sports surfaces, in this regard, it must comply with international standards.

Although there is no single requirement for this element, there are a number of recommendations for their manufacture:

1. material damping. This quality of the track is necessary for the comfortable training of athletes.
2. Reliability and stability of the adhesion of shoes and the surface of the flooring.
3. The guaranteed preservation of a form of a covering at temperature difference.
4. Immune to wear and mechanical damage.

The composition of polyurethane with rubber crumb makes the running surface waterproof, which significantly affects safety. foundation track (it is not deformed during operation).

Use cases

The production of products from tire raw materials is multifaceted. It is used to make many items for various purposes.

Listed below are just a few of them.

Tile

The most suitable option in the manufacture of rubber crumb tiles, its two-layer production is considered: the lower part of the product is made of tire crumb, and the upper half is made of colored EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber).

The connection of such modular plates is made by locks, which simplifies the process and is accessible even to a beginner in this business.

In addition, she has a very reasonable price - from 1300 rubles per 1m 2.

Tiles at the same time has the following advantages:

1. An increased degree of injury safety of the product due to depreciation properties.
2. Anti-slip properties.
3. Resistance to abrasion, mechanical stress.
4. Ease of installation.
5. Various range of colors, which makes it attractive.

Tiles made from this material are used in the design of all kinds of sites, sidewalks, for laying out paths in squares and parks, when equipping runways at airfields, on piers, warehouses, farms and garages.

borders

Excellent material for the design and delimitation of public areas rubber crumb curbs are presented.

They have an excellent configuration, a different range of colors, they are unpretentious in maintenance and installation.

In this regard, borders have found wide use in fencing territories, as well as for marking roads, squares, courtyards, private gardens, play areas etc.

The main advantage of the products is their safety in case of contact with them.

Curbs made from tire rubber do not require painting or other additional maintenance.

They are resistant to minus and plus temperatures and do not crack during operation, they are perfectly cushioned in the event of a collision with them.

columns

The parking "landmark" made of tire rubber is a successful alternative to metal and concrete protection.

There are iron bars inside the product, allowing it to bend, but at the same time, the column does not break.

The installation of such elements occurs due to the anchor with a threaded connection.

These devices are used to delimit sidewalks from roads, enclose a parking area and separate moving traffic.

Figures for playgrounds

Tire rubber 3D elements are a small architectural form made of ethylene-propylene rubber. They are great for playgrounds and intended for children from 4 to 10 years old.

Rubber toys in the form of horses, mushrooms and other figures add variety to the play atmosphere and attract with a truly new approach to the playground.

These toys are safe for children, they are environmentally friendly, attractive to look at and create an exciting environment for play.

Manufacturing of fillers

Bag chair

This piece of furniture is the most common type of chair without a frame. The product has achieved such popularity due to the versatility of its configuration, and, accordingly, large range possible poses.

And all this is achieved thanks to the filler of rubber crumb with a small fraction (2-6 mm).

Such rubber granulate ensures the constancy of the volume and the pronounced result of the “flow around” the person in the bean bag.

tombstones

When arranging graves, it is traditionally customary to decorate them with marble tiles, and fill the passages with gravel or sand. But it helps in the short term. Today there is an acceptable option for making tombstones - this is modern coating from tiles based on crumb rubber.

It is significant surpasses concrete surface by service life, since it is not affected by precipitation, it has a much larger range of colors and, in addition to this, it is quite budget cost.

Boxing bags

Such a sports equipment, like a boxing bag or a pear, is filled with a homogeneous material: sand and other loose mixtures.

However, crumb rubber creates the desired effect when practicing strokes.

In addition, she has all the necessary qualities.

Tire crumb for such products should be from 2-3 to 4-6 mm in size.

road construction

Road construction is another area where rubber tire crumbs are used. asphalt pavement using tire crumb has a number of advantages:

1. Raise operational qualities roadbed. This is due to the acquired depreciation properties of the coating.
2. Such a road provides more reliable engagement between the surface and the wheels, which significantly reduces the accident rate.
3. Reduction of tire wear.
4. Extended time between repairs.
5. Reduces the likelihood of a rut due to the elasticity of the roadway.

For modified coating reflective qualities are noticeably reduced. Due to this increased travel safety.

Bituminous mastics

Rubber-bitumen resin is used for waterproofing in various fields of human activity.

It is distinguished by two types:

1. Mastic used at normal room temperature.
2. Resin with heating to the desired degrees.

In relation to rolled materials, this rubber-bitumen coating has several advantages:

• the possibility of application in hard-to-reach places;
• possessing excellent astringent qualities (sticking to different surfaces);
• reliable protection against corrosion of underground pipelines;
• homogeneity of the mixture and resistance to deformation.

Surfaces treated with rubber-bitumen mastic are not exposed to fungus, mold and other aggressive influences.

Heaters

Another popular area of ​​​​use of tire crumbs is various heaters and seals.

The most popular is modified rubber insulation (EPDM, SBR or NBR), which is considered the basis of porous rubber.

The total volume of pores in such a heater can vary from 25 to 75%, and the size of each cell is about 0.4 microns.

This rubber is called microporous, and its properties directly depend on the qualities of the polymer base.

In relation to monolithic, this rubber stands out for its properties, such as:

• softness;
• noise and vibration isolation;
• elasticity.

Cellular mats

To protect the room from dirt and debris, cellular rugs are best considered.

These products are embossed coatings with holes inside.

Wherein they are made from polymer material with the addition of crumb rubber and are designed for a long service life.

Thanks to the cells, the earth does not remain on the surface, but crumbles inside the holes - on the floor. When cleaning, it is enough to move the mat and easily sweep away the debris with a broom.

Conclusion

After reading the article, you learned what can be made from tire crumbs and where it is used.

Tire recycling is a complex and requires a lot of investment for the purchase of equipment, rent of premises and other expenses.

But if you decide to open your own business for the manufacture of any products from tire crumb, then the result will not be long in coming. I wish you success!

In contact with

- a novelty that surprised the buyer and became very popular very quickly. The material is produced from recycled materials, and this is its value. Only three components are interconnected, generating a strong and durable product, and the only thing that is required from the manufacturer is to strictly adhere to the technology. Production of crumb rubber coatings.

Initially, the question was what to do with old tires that have served their purpose. They are made from valuable ingredients - rubbers with additives. And until recently rubber tires thrown out, which gave rise to dangerous landfills and environmental pollution.

It turned out that the most good decision problems yet and is the simplest part-time. Since it was proposed to simply turn the tires into crumbs, and it has already found the widest application. And one of the options for its use is the manufacture of excellent rubber floors.

Production of crumb coatings.

Begins manufacturing process in different companies in different ways. It all depends on the size of the company and its equipment. There are firms that prefer to make all the ingredients themselves. Others buy ready-made components only by connecting them together.

Ideally, the production of rubber crumb coatings should begin with tire shredding. Because as a result, the manufacturer can be sure that this task was performed in compliance with all requirements and standards. For example, rubber needs to be thoroughly cleaned from impurities. And this guarantees the use of modern equipment.

If it is not possible to make crumbs with your own capacities, then you should buy it from a trusted manufacturer. If the material is not cleaned sufficiently, it will eventually be detrimental to the finished coating. Since impurities will make it more fragile and less durable.

Also important is the quality of the second component of the material - polyurethane adhesive. It is made according to its own recipes, so the composition of the binder is different in nuances. If it is not possible to produce your own glue, then you cannot choose someone else's on the principle of economy. Poor-quality binder will not be able to effectively connect the granules. It may also have a specific smell, which will affect the coating - then buyers complain that it smells unpleasant.

Pigments that color the mass should also be of high quality. This means that the priority is on the side safe recipes which guarantee the harmlessness of the dye. And the buyer is interested in the durability of the product: the pigment must be resistant to sunlight and other possible damaging factors.

Production of crumb rubber coatings in Russia.

Coating manufacturing technology has been mastered by local manufacturers recently. That is why this niche is not filled. Some businesses choose to skimp on components, resulting in poor product performance.

Therefore, the buyer should be interested in domestic factories that have a full production cycle. This will guarantee the excellent quality of the rubber coating, which can serve for decades.

Eastimpex is a trusted partner that strictly adheres to the technology of manufacturing materials based on crumb rubber. It has the equipment to make all ingredients for coatings. As a result, they are durable, wear-resistant, environmentally friendly and harmless to humans.
