Use of Rubber Crumb Obtained from Waste Car Tires for the Production of Road Bitumen and Roofing Materials from Residues of Ukrainian Oil Processing

Abstract

The process of modifying road bitumen obtained from the residues of Ukrainian oils processing with rubber crumb has been studied. The dependence of the softening temperature, ductility, penetration, and elasticity of the three-component bituminous composition “bitumen : linseed oil : rubber crumb” on its formulation has been examined. Based on the mentioned composition a new type of cold-applied bitumen roofing has been developed. A process flow diagram for the production of modified bitumen and special-purpose bituminous composition has been developed.
