Asphalt Genuis
Rubberized asphalt is an innovative solution that enhances the properties of traditional asphalt by incorporating crumb rubber. This addition increases the asphalt's flexibility and resistance to cracking, resulting in a more durable road surface. Moreover, the use of recycled tire rubber in this process has several benefits. It enhances the road's longevity, reduces noise levels, and improves skid resistance, thereby enhancing safety for drivers.
Genuis mix, which stands for Sustainable Material with Asphalt Rubber Technologies, represents a significant advancement in rubberized asphalt technology. This product line consists of dry mix rubber additives designed for high-performance paved surfaces. Its cutting-edge technology involves the use of proprietary methods to create pre-swelled, reacted rubber particles. These particles can be easily integrated into asphalt mixtures at the mix plant, eliminating the need for additional binders, elevated mixing temperatures, longer mixing times, or extensive storage periods. The incorporation of SmartMIX is straightforward and efficient, streamlining the asphalt production process.
Product Advantages
Efficient and Game-Changing Technology
Our remarkable genuis mix asphalt additives offer the same level of performance as other modified mixes, but at a more affordable price point and with reduced waste. In fact, our additives cost up to 15% less per ton and can lead to a 50% reduction in modifier expenses. Moreover, genuis mix extends the lifespan of pavement, resulting in fewer maintenance requirements and long-term investments.
Embrace Circular Sustainability
All the tires used in genuis mix are recycled, and the materials used in this technology are 100% recyclable. We take great pride in our commitment to sustainability, especially since genuis mix asphalt additives generate fewer emissions compared to wet-processed rubber or polymer mixes. By choosing genuis mix, you can also eliminate product waste
Increase Your Use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
Thanks to genuis mix, you can maximize the utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) by up to 50%. This is possible because genuis mix reduces mix stiffness and brittleness. Our additives not only enhance the crack resistance of the asphalt but also make it easier to handle during installation.
Streamline Your Mixing Process
With genuis mix, your mixing process becomes simpler and more efficient. Our product arrives ready to use, eliminating the need for elevated mix temperatures and the extra mixing time required for the rubber to swell and react with the asphalt. The rubber in genuis mix is pre-reacted, saturated, and swelled. Moreover, as a dry mix that is turnkey, it allows for small-scale projects without the need for expensive specialized equipment and storage tanks.
Additionally, our line of dry mix additives:
- Enhances the flexibility and durability of asphalt mixtures
- Resists cracking
- Can be scaled up or down
- Overcomes industry obstacles, enabling plants of all sizes across the continent to produce this beneficial product and contribute to their communities
- Minimizes bottom-up and reflective cracking in interlayers and underlayers
- Generates fewer fumes compared to wet-processed rubber or polymer mixes
- Offers better workability than most other polymer or rubber modified mixes
