Crumb Rubber

What is Crumb Rubber?

Crumb rubber is a material derived from recycled tires that are thoroughly cleaned, shredded, and ground into uniform, smaller particles. These particles range in size from fine dust-like granules to pieces approximately half an inch in length just slightly smaller than a dime.

Renowned for its versatility and value, crumb rubber is widely used across various industries. From compression and injection molding to paving applications and synthetic turf installations, it plays a vital role in the production of durable, eco-friendly, and functional products we encounter in everyday life.

Versatile at the Core :-

Crumb rubber stands out as the go-to material for industries seeking to reduce costs, enhance safety, and embrace sustainable practices. Made entirely from recycled tires, its inherent properties elasticity, durability, and resilience make it a game changer across a wide range of applications, from consumer products to infrastructure solutions.

Compression Molding Applications

Crumb rubber is an ideal alternative to virgin materials in compression molding. It’s highly elastic, long-lasting, and significantly more affordable. Products such as floor mats, weightlifting plates, and playground surfaces not only perform better but also last longer when made with recycled rubber.

Synthetic Turf Infill 

Used in over 80% of synthetic turf fields nationwide, crumb rubber infill delivers unmatched shock absorption and drainage capabilities. It dries quickly, protects athletes from impact-related injuries, and stands up to weather extremes—making it the safest and most practical infill material available.

Running Tracks 

Crumb rubber provides a high-performance, value-driven solution for running tracks. It offers a resilient, non-slip surface and is often used as a base mat beneath more specialized track systems to enhance safety and durability.

Rubberized Asphalt 

When used in road construction, crumb rubber enhances performance by reducing noise levels, improving traction (shorter stopping distances), and cutting down on long-term maintenance costs.

A Material of Endless Possibilities 

Whether you need a surface that’s durable, crack-resistant, shock-absorbent, or simply more cost-effective, crumb rubber delivers. Key benefits include:

  • Exceptional durability

  • Resistance to cracking and weathering

  • High ductility and flexibility

  • Cost savings over virgin materials

  • Superior shock absorption

  • 100% recycled and eco-conscious

Crumb Rubber Specifications

Crumb rubber comes in many different sizes and can be customized based on the application. Common sizes, starting with the largest, are 1/4 sifted, 10 mesh, 20 mesh minus and 30 mesh.
