Designed to reduce landfill waste, cut reliance on virgin materials, and deliver durable roads without compromising performance. FlexiPlus Bind | EcoBlend marks a significant step toward scalable, circular‑economy solutions for one of the country’s most persistent waste challenges; end-of-life tyres.
FlexiPlus Bind is a high-performance polymer-modified binder formulated to enhance both fatigue resistance and rutting performance in asphalt mixes. The EcoBlend variation replaces a portion of the virgin polymer with recycled rubber.
Traditional recycled tyre rubber, known as crumb rubber, is produced by grinding end-of-life tyres into fine, granular particles. However, in New Zealand road construction, crumb rubber can present operational risks, to overcome these challenges, Road Science has opted to integrate devulcanised rubber into our FlexiPlus Bind | EcoBlend formulation. This material undergoes an additional processing step to break down the rubber to a form that can blend effectively with bitumen and eliminating the risks associated with conventional crumb rubber.
Engineered for long-life pavement solutions, FlexiPlus Bind | EcoBlend delivers performance well beyond that of conventional bitumen-based binders. By significantly improving cracking resistance, and moderate improvements for rut resistance, FlexiPlus Bind | EcoBlend ensures extended service life for pavements, even under heavy traffic loads and demanding environmental conditions. Its use in standard asphalt mixes transforms them into durable, high resilience surfaces capable of withstanding continuous stress and deformation.
Choose FlexiPlus Bind | EcoBlend for long-lasting pavements, reduced maintenance costs, sustainability, and superior all-round asphalt performance.
