The future of roadconstruction

GRM: The intelligent bitumen granulate
Rubbertec stands for sustainable and innovative solutions in road construction. Our product GRM (rubber-modified bitumen granulate) combines recycled rubber with bitumen and offers an economical, high-performance and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional road construction materials.

Rubbertec Gummiverwertungs GmbH produces rubber-modified bitumen granulate (GRM = Granulate Rubber Modified) for sustainable road construction. GRM consists of approx. 50% bitumen, 40% recycled rubber from used truck tires and 10% filler.

The GRM is wet produced at at least 200 °C over several hours and added dry to the asphalt mixing plant.

The GRM from Rubbertec Gummiverwertungs GmbH is used all over the world.

Application & Technology

Easily integrated — without modifications to your mixing plant
GRM is incorporated directly into the asphalt mix and generally requires no technical adjustments. It is suitable both for hot mixing processes and for temperature-reduced mixing technologies.

GRM is a bitumen granulate that has already been completely pre-reacted — can be used immediately. The pre-reaction makes it easy to use even in temperature-reduced asphalt.

No aging period necessary!

Corresponds to TL RMB-STB-Requirements for rubber-modified bitumen.

During the thermal reaction process, the Polymers activated in rubber and permanently embedded in the bitumen matrix.

Sustainability — Taking Responsibility

A circular product with an effect
With GRM, you make an active contribution to the circular economy. For every ton of GRM, around 12 old truck tires are sensibly recycled.

Lower emissions during production and installation

Fewer construction sites due to extended life cycles

Resource-saving and eligible for funding in many regions

Long-term proven
& successfully deployed.
GRM has been used in numerous infrastructure projects in Europe for over 15 years. The results: lower maintenance costs, improved road stability and higher user satisfaction.
