In an attempt to find an end use for this material it was added to concrete. Tire Fluff from the Ambient and Cryogenic recycling processes were tested in varying amounts and compared to traditional concrete. Concrete with tire fluff exhibited a unique ductile characteristic not found in traditional concrete. |
