The plants for processing old tires are the place where, thanks to unique technologies, rubber paving slabs are born. Together with the release of necessary and demanded products, important tasks are being taken to protect the environment.
Methods for the production of sidewalk tiles from rubber crumbs
Sidewalk tile has a rubber filler, which is obtained by crushing old tires in a fine powder or granules. It takes quite a bit of time for the friable mass to turn into a practical product that attracts buyers with a variety of color shades. Color saturation takes place in a special mixer, where the crumb is mixed with a bright pigment, titanium dioxide and a polyurethane binder. The resulting mixture will take its place in the top layer of the tile. The lower layer gives the product depreciation properties, it consists of large unpainted granules.
Affects the quality of the tile pressing method. Polymerization at room temperature (cold pressing) takes longer than hot pressing. But in the end they get a crumb that is firmly impregnated and seized with glue.
Technical characteristics of the sidewalk covering of rubber tiles
The scope of production is quite extensive. It applies to schools and kindergartens. This is due to environmental friendliness and trauma safety of products. It is appropriate to lay the tiles on children's playgrounds and in sports halls, as it softens the blows when falling in physical education classes. The flooring withstands large temperature changes, so it is recommended for indoor and outdoor use. Stability to high loads makes it ideal for motorists. Anti-slip and quick-drying surface attracts owners of swimming pools , saunas and baths. As a street covering, paving rubber tiles are ideal for a private house or villa. It is laid out beautiful garden paths , on which you feel comfortable and safe all year round. Rough flooring in winter is completely non-slippery and perfectly cleansed of snow. Good reviews are based on rubber stair lifts and descents. In the private sector, they practice multi-colored steps, which kids love very much.
Rubber paving slab, in addition to the difference in color, has a different shape and thickness. Aesthetic appeal to the products attached to the top layer all kinds of drawings and patterns.
Under the rubber paving slab any solid base is suitable. It can be laid on the ground, a covering from asphalt, a tree or on a concrete screed. When laying on the ground, it is recommended to remove the top layer, compact and fill it with crushed stone, and use a cement-sand mixture as a substrate. Installed along the edges of the curb path adds strength design, and gives the work a finished look. For garden paths, it's best to buy a tile that connects with bushings. This small detail prevents the displacement of products. For the laying of temporary coatings, manufacturers propose to purchase "ReziPlit", which is modules and connecting elements.
Covering of paving rubber tiles has a long service life, and excellent technical characteristics predicts a great future. On the streets of major cities, tiles are spread not only on the sidewalks, but also between tram tracks. This provides a dense junction of roads to the road. This innovation is not only beautiful, but also reliable, because the products do not crumble and do not break.
