Crumb Rubber is the
name given to any material derived by reducing scrap tire or other
rubber into uniform granules with the inherent reinforcing materials
such as steel and fiber removed along with any other type of inert
contaminants such as dust, glass, or rock.
Crumb Rubber is a tricky material.
Its worth depends completely on its end use, and even the most sophisticated
end-user can be fooled by its quality - or lack thereof. In this
myriad of possibilities, what standards
determine crumb rubber quality? How do you know what testing methods
to use?
