Mix-Maxer®

Pre-Treated GTR for direct addition to the rubberized asphalt mix

MIX-Maxer® is a technologically advanced pre-treated ground tire rubber (GTR) formulated to allow its direct introduction through a RAP collar into an asphalt mix without first subjecting the GTR to wet processing.

Currently, the use of GTR in asphalt mix formulations is limited by the need to first wet process the GTR prior to incorporating it into a mix design. Wet processing involves stirring GTR in hot asphalt binder and then holding the blended materials at 350F for approximately one hour to allow time for the GTR to react with the liquid asphalt. The resultant blend can then be transported to a mixing plant, where it is combined with aggregate to create an asphalt mix suitable for paving applications.
