Acoustic screens
The use of end-of-life tyre granulate in acoustic applications satisfies a dual need: the recycling of end-of-life tyres and the reduction in noise pollution.
The acoustic properties of ELT granulate have made it possible to develop a range of products. These products range from those that filter and absorb vibrations such as acoustic mats, to those that make use of the properties such as acoustic screens.
Another application also consists in mixing the granulate with concrete to produce the sound barriers that are typically found along the length of motorways (companies SEGEX and RINCENT BTP).
For more information, here is a report (in French) to a study on acoustic screens.
