As a Thickening Agent for Dura-Rubber or Dura-Rubber High-Build
Crumb Rubber can be added to Dura-Rubber or Dura-Rubber High-Build to create a thicker, trowel-grade material for repairing uneven surfaces, filling voids, and creating textured finishes.
Recommended Mix Ratios
Application
Crumb Rubber
Light Thickening
Up to 1 lb per gallon
Heavy Patching / Trowel Application
2–3 lbs per gallon
Add the Crumb Rubber gradually while mixing until a smooth, uniform consistency is achieved.
Note: The more Crumb Rubber added, the thicker the mixture becomes. Do not exceed 3 lbs per gallon, as excessive filler can reduce workability and adhesion.
Trowel Application
For filling low spots, repairing damaged concrete, or resurfacing:
- Prepare the surface by removing loose material, dirt, grease, and contaminants.
- Mix Dura-Rubber or High-Build with 2–3 lbs of Crumb Rubber per gallon.
- Blend thoroughly until the mixture reaches a smooth, putty-like consistency.
- Apply using a flat steel trowel, pressing firmly into cracks, voids, and damaged areas.
- Smooth the surface as desired.
- Allow the material to cure before applying additional coats if required.
Non-Slip Additive
Crumb Rubber may also be used to create a durable, slip-resistant finish.
Mix Ratio
- 1 lb of Crumb Rubber per gallon of Dura-Rubber or Dura-Rubber High-Build.
Mix thoroughly until the Crumb Rubber is evenly dispersed throughout the coating.
Apply using a roller, brush, or squeegee as you normally would.
The cured coating will have a textured surface that improves traction while maintaining flexibility.
