Asphalt and bitumen

High-performance roads, built with recycled value.

Applications

Modification of asphalt and bitumen in road construction

A well-built road does more than carry traffic – it keeps costs down, cuts maintenance time and reduces disruption for everyone who drives on it. By modifying asphalt with high-quality recycled rubber, local and national authorities can strengthen roads while making budgets and resources go further.

Asphalt and bitumen

A cleaner alternative to virgin rubber

Traditionally, many road projects use synthetic rubber such as SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) to modify bitumen for added flexibility and crack resistance. But SBS is made from scarce virgin materials, making it costly in both financial and environmental terms. Genan offers a smarter alternative: Turning end-of-life tyres into high-performance rubber powder that improves asphalt quality – without drawing on new fossil resources.

Longer-lasting roads mean fewer repairs, fewer partial closures and smoother traffic flow – all while giving scrap tyres a second life in public infrastructure. Backed by industrial-scale capacity and reliable supply, Genan’s solution helps contractors and authorities meet performance standards and climate goals in one step.

Rubber that goes the extra mile

Our GENAN FINE POWDER (0.2–0.8 mm) and GENAN SUPER FINE POWDER (0.2-0.6 mm) can be added as a modifier, but today most customers prefer GENAN ROAD+ PREMIXED. This dry-process product combines our fine rubber powder with Vestenamer® and is then mixed directly with stone and bitumen. The result? Road surfaces with the same durability and resistance to rutting and cracking as SBS-modified asphalt, but with clear sustainability benefits.

Endless posibilities

The only limit is your imagination

Why choose Genan rubber powder?

– A consistent, high-quality product
– Large volume availability

– High efficiency due to a very clean product

– An easy order and delivery process
– A sustainable solution

When producing shoe soles, you need good compounding properties. With micronised rubber powder from Genan in your compound, you will get a sustainable, environment-friendly, high-quality product. If you opt for micronised rubber powder from end-of-life tyres as a filler instead of using e.g. waste rubber from your own production process, a larger percentage of virgin material may be substituted. More recycled material may thus be added – for a more cost-effective rubber compound.

The Genan concept is both remarkable and inspiring. From the intake of end-of-life tyres to the use of rubber products in our customers’ various applications, we strive to deliver an innovative, high–quality, sustainable product.

GENAN Rubber granulate and rubber powder can be used for many different applications.

Let us inspire you.

When producing conveyor belts, it is possible to reduce compound costs through a substitution of virgin elastomer with Genan micronised rubber powder.
Sometimes, virgin elastomers are substituted by reclaim rubber for the same reason; but using Genan micronised rubber powder will provide you with an even better solution, because of the fine properties of this type of rubber.
