For
over 30 years, researchers and engineers in the United States
and Canada have been experimenting and testing the concept
of adding crumb rubber to asphalt on roadways, runways and
other pavements. Advanced Recycling Sciences, Inc., through
its subsidiary Advanced Surfacing Technologies, Inc. (AST),
has followed this research for over half a decade and has
become deeply involved in the processes and the equipment.
Research
and development has established beyond doubt that, in most
applications, asphalt rubber makes roadways safer and more
durable. The tougher the conditions the more advantages
asphalt rubber has over conventional asphalt. It flexes
in freeze-and-thaw conditions, resists wear from tire chains
on vehicles as well as from regular use, it doesn't rut
and crack as easily as conventional asphalt and it lasts
much longer than many other paving materials.
Many
jurisdictions, including California, Arizona, Florida,
New Mexico and Texas, use asphalt rubber routinely, not
just to patch existing signs of wear-and-tear, but also
for major projects including highways, residential streets
and heavily used truck routes.
It is evident that the use of asphalt rubber on highways and city/subdivision roadways of the world, in airport runways and mall parking lots, is the wave of the future. This proven technology and application will eventually spread world-wide and will not only contribute to longer lasting, safer and more quiet vehicle surfaces but will provide a major incentive to recycle the unsightly and environmentally damaging piles of scrap tires that disfigure the landscape, and thus reuse a non-renewable natural resource.
Advanced
Surfacing Technologies, Inc., through its involvement
in this emerging industry, intends to vigorously and energetically
contribute to both the transfer of the technology to business
and governments of other countries and to the supply of
the necessary technology, equipment and engineering requirements
needed to make CRM technology a practical, economic and
environmentally friendly practice throughout the world.
In
April 2002, AST signed an exclusive representation agreement
with
CEI Enterprises, Inc.
