How much rubber crumbs is required for floor coverings per 1m2?

How much rubber crumbs is required for floor coverings per 1m2?

The consumption of rubber crumbs, per 1m2, directly depends on the porosity of the rubber and the fraction, is 700 g per 1 mm of coating thickness.
Accordingly, with a coating thickness of 10 mm, an average of 7-12 kg of crumbs will be required.

The raw material with which we get the rubber crumb :
Rubber crumb is made from waste rubber products, old used tires, rubber hoses.
Tires, if compared with various types of rubber products, contain more rubber of different types.
RTI hoses are the cleanest possible product for making clean crumbs without various inclusions.
*Natural rubber has the designation HK in Russia and NR in Europe.

Production of crumb on a rubber basis

A crumb of a certain diameter is used to produce a floor covering. Depending on the quality of the material and the scope of its application, several types of granules can be used for production.

By grinding, it is customary to understand the separation of a single whole into separate small components under the application of external forces and a certain temperature.

The resulting structure of such a product is largely determined by the choice of a method for processing rubber and subsequent grinding. The following methods are most often used for this:

  1. Application of deformation
  2. Application of cutting tools
  3. Application of ultrasound and electromagnetic field
  4. Application of electric current discharges
  5. Application of laser beams
  6. Application of waves or explosion
