Asphalt: Sustainable Polymers – Cyclenomics Cyclebond
Cyclenomics Cyclebond is made by devulcanising rubber, changing its chemistry selectively breaking Sulphur crosslinks to restore its viscoelastic properties. It enables the production of polymer composite modifiers (PCM) that offer superior binder performance compared to single polymers like SPS, SBR, PBD, or EVA.
Cyclebond is manufactured for use with asphalt using both dry and wet methods, as well as polymer modified emulsions (PME). The use of Cyclebond helps build a circular economy and reduces the carbon footprint of road surfaces by decreasing bitumen usage.
Cyclebond Presentations & Case Studies
Cyclenomics Cyclebond Polymer
Cyclenomics Cyclebond polymer has over 10 years of development of tyre recycling plants which has led to the production of a range of Polymer Composite Modifiers (PCM) for bitumen through deep devulcanising of crumb rubber.
This presentation provides an overview of the devulcanisation process, manufacturing of Cyclenomics modifiers and recommended applications to hot mix asphalt mixes, as well as for the manufacture of polymer modified emulsions (PME).
Included in the presentation are snapshots of development projects undertaken in New Zealand and China.
