20 Minus Crumb Rubber
We make 20 minus crumb rubber from quality truck tires in Galion, Ohio. It’s all-black, wire-free material.
20 minus means the crumb passes a 20-mesh sieve. You get the 20-mesh particles and everything finer. That’s different from a 10/20 or 20/30 cut, which is held between two screens.
People sometimes call this 20 mesh crumb rubber. If your spec says “20 minus” or “minus 20,” this is the grade. If it says 20/30, you want the screened cut instead. See our 20/30 mesh page for that product.
20 Mesh Crumb Rubber for Molding and Asphalt
Finer passing grades show up a lot in molded rubber and in asphalt rubber. The smaller particles pack and mix differently than a coarser turf-infill cut. If you’re making mats, wheel chocks, or other molded parts, 20 minus is a common starting point. The same is true for many crumb-modified binder recipes. Send the spec and we’ll quote it.

When a Turf or Track Spec Calls for 20 Minus
Most football and multi-sport turf systems we get asked about are built with a screened cut such as 10/20 mesh. Some systems, blends, or bound running-track surfaces call for a finer passing grade instead.
If you have a spec, send it and we’ll quote the grade it names.
How We Make 20 Minus Crumb
Truck tires go through our primary shredder, secondary shredder, and cracker mill in Galion. Then we screen the crumb. What we ship as 20 minus is all black and wire-free. Custom sizes are available if you need a different passing size or a tight cut.
Packaging and Shipping
We package 20 minus in bulk bags or ship it in bulk loads. It goes out by truckload nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 20 minus crumb rubber mean?
20 minus is a passing grade. The crumb passes a 20-mesh sieve, so you get the 20-mesh fraction and everything finer. It is not a narrow cut like 10/20 or 20/30 mesh.
Is 20 minus the same as 20 mesh crumb rubber?
People sometimes say 20 mesh crumb rubber when they mean a 20 minus grade, because the top size is 20 mesh. If a spec says 20/30, that is a tighter cut and not the same as 20 minus. Send us the wording from the spec and we’ll match it.
What is 20 minus crumb rubber used for?
Buyers often specify 20 minus for molded rubber products, asphalt rubber, and some turf or track systems that want a finer passing grade. We make it from truck tires. It is all-black, wire-free crumb.
Do you have a spec sheet for 20 minus?
Yes. Numeric test values and sieve results are on a spec sheet, available on request.
How do you ship 20 minus crumb rubber?
In bulk bags or bulk loads, by truckload nationwide. Custom sizes are available if 20 minus is not the grade you need.
