Asphalt Production: Sustainable Polymers – Cyclenomics DVR
Cyclenomics DVR is made by selectively devulcanising rubber, restoring its viscoelastic properties. It enables the production of polymer composite modifiers (PCM) that offer superior binder performance compared to single polymers like SPS, SBR, PBD, or EVA.
As a recycled product, Cyclenomics DVR suits hot mix asphalt (HMA) using both dry and wet methods, as well as polymer modified emulsions (PME). Its use helps build a circular economy and reduces the carbon footprint of road surfaces by decreasing bitumen usage.
Devulcanised Rubber Presentations & Case Studies
Cyclenomics DVR Poylmer
Cyclenomics DVR polymer is set to begin production mid-April this year. Over 10 years of development of tyre recycling plants has led to production of vulcanised rubber and a range of Polymer Composite Modifiers (PCM) for bitumen from deep vulcanised crumb rubber.
This presentation provides an overview of the vulcanisation process, manufacturing of Cyclenomics modifiers and recommended applications to hot mix asphalt mixes, as well as for the manufacture of polymer modified emulsions (PME). Included in the presentation are snapshots of projects undertaken in New Zealand and China.
