Proven Rubberized Asphalt. Built for Real-World Paving.
Elastiko® ECR Dry Process Rubberized Asphalt delivers the performance of polymer-modified pavement — without the cost, complexity, or plant disruption.
Elastiko Rubberized Asphalt - Not New. Not Risky. Already Working.
Elastiko® ECR has been successfully placed for over a decade, delivering smoother, quieter, and more durable pavements — while simplifying plant operations!
Rubberized Asphalt: How It’s Made
Elastiko is applied to the rubber in order to improve the handling and workability characteristics of the mix.
Rubber Asphalt vs Polymer
Elastiko rubber asphalt-modified mixes exhibit similar rutting and cracking resistance to polymer-modified mixes.
Wet Process vs Dry Process
Rubberized asphalt has emerged as an innovative solution for improving durability and performance, with dry process simplifying plant operations.
How Dry Process Rubberized Asphalt Works
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.
Transport Rubber Into Fiber Unit
Feed bulk bags of crumb rubber into the fiber feed unit to meter material into the RAP collar.
ECR is Injected Into RAP Collar
Elastiko-treated crumb rubber is injected into the RAP collar to mix with aggregates, similar to polymer addition.
Lay Just Like Standard Mix
ECR asphalt is produced and laid just like a standard hot mix asphalt design using familiar equipment.
Why Contractors Are Adopting Elastiko ECR
Polymer performance. Dry process simplicity. Proven results.
Field-Proven Performance That Matches Polymer
For every one lane mile of Elastiko modified asphalt laid, approximately 800 tires are kept out of landfills. Agencies gain better use of natural resources and reduce waste going to landfills.
Improves Rutting and Crack Resistance
Dry process ECR is better able to handle the stresses of heavy traffic, extreme temperatures, and frequent freeze–thaw cycles. The rubber particles reduce the likelihood of rutting and cracking.
Benefits of ECR Dry Process Asphalt
ECR reduces the cost of a two grade bump by an estimated $2–$4 per mix ton. It can help your plant run faster compared to many polymer-modified mixes: lower mix viscosities permit 10–15% faster plant throughput. It also generates less waste, with mixes leaving the truck with almost no residue in the bed.
ECR Makes Your Plant Run Faster
Lower mix viscosities permit 10–15% faster plant throughput.
ECR Generates Less Waste
Mixes leave the truck with almost no residue in the bed, reducing truck cleanout waste.
10–20% fewer roller passes
This is rubberized asphalt designed for production, paving, and profit.
Works Well in Thinlay Applications
Compared to standard unmodified hot mix asphalt, ECR pavements can achieve greater durability with thinner lifts.
