Rubber grinding products refer to materials or items processed from recycled or scrap rubber through grinding or shredding techniques. These products serve various industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. Here’s an overview:
Common Rubber Grinding Products:
1. Crumb Rubber
– Produced by grinding scrap tires or rubber into small granules (1–10 mm).
– Used in:
– Asphalt Modifier (rubberized asphalt for roads).
– Playground Surfaces (safety flooring).
– Sports Fields (artificial turf infill).
2. Rubber Powder
– Finer particles (<1 mm) obtained via cryogenic or ambient grinding.
– Applications:
– Molded Rubber Products (mixed with virgin rubber).
– Coatings/Sealants (enhancing flexibility).
3. Buffings
– Fibrous rubber dust from retreading or tire buffing.
– Used in:
– Floor Mats.
– Rubber Mulch.
4. Recycled Rubber Granules
– Coarser than crumb rubber, used for:
– Landscaping Mulch.
– Equestrian Surfaces.
5. Devulcanized Rubber
– Treated ground rubber to restore plasticity for reuse in new rubber goods.
Production Process:
– Ambient Grinding: Room-temperature shredding/scissoring into chips/granules.
– Cryogenic Grinding: Freezing rubber with liquid nitrogen (-80°C) to make brittle powder.

Applications:
– Construction (rubber-modified concrete, soundproofing).
– Automotive (gaskets, mat.jpg)
– Consumer Goods (shoe soles, yoga mats).
Suppliers & Equipment:
– Companies like *Liberty Tire Recycling*, *CRM*, or regional recyclers supply ground rubber products. Machines include granulators, shredders, and cryogenic mills.
