Description	Bitumen-rubber is a mixture of bitumen, granulated rubber reclaimed from old vehicle tires and additives such as extender oils and/or diluents. The product can either manufactured on site in the distributor or in a conveniently situated plant near the site. Basically the process consists of the addition of a specified quantity of rubber to hot bitumen of the specified grade. The resultant reacted bitumen-rubber mixture has radically different properties form those of the original components. It has unique elastic, plastic and thermal properties and adheres well to aggregates and road surfaces. These properties make the product very suitable for maintenance and rehabilitation.
