rubber obtained from scrap tires can be used in a number of beneficial ways. One of the most beneficial uses involves producing Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) from scrap tires and using the GTR to create Rubber-Modified Asphalt (RMA). RMA has been used in the U.S. since the 1960s, but extensive market adoption is yet to occur.

Although most standard roofing shingles are still made with blown asphalt, roofing manufacturers are increasingly using PMA, or styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) for their upgrade and premium shingles.
Rubberized Asphalt. A chemically Engineered Crumb Rubber product called Elastiko ECR is fed into your plant during mix production, just like a fine aggregate. The heated binder reacts with the ECR during mixing, storage and transport. The delivered mix lays and performs like a polymer-modified pavement, but at a fraction of the cost.
Crumb rubber, also referred as ground rubber, is one of several available asphalt binder modifiers. Rubber from scrap tires or other sources is grinded and blended with asphalt cement to beneficially modify the properties of asphalt, forming rubber-modified asphalt binder (asphalt rubber binder) or used as a aggregate substitute in an asphalt …
