30 Minus Crumb Rubber
We make 30 minus crumb rubber from quality truck tires in Galion, Ohio. It’s all black, and it’s wire-free.
30 minus passes a 30-mesh sieve. It’s a finer passing grade than 20 minus. If you need a small particle and the full passing fraction, this is the grade.
It’s not the same as 20/30 mesh, which is held on the 30-mesh screen. If your paperwork says 30 minus or minus 30, that’s this grade, not the 20/30 cut.
30 Minus Crumb Rubber for Asphalt and Molding
Asphalt rubber and crumb-modified binders often want a fine crumb so the rubber mixes into the binder the way the recipe expects. A lot of those specs point at a passing grade in this range. We quote to the sieve the mix design names. The asphalt rubber page covers how that work usually goes.
Molded products can use 30 minus too, especially when the part or the binder needs a smaller particle than 20 minus. Mats and other molded goods are discussed on our molded rubber page.
Running Tracks and Other Fine-Crumb Jobs
Some bound running-track surfaces use finer crumb rubber in the mix. That’s a different system than loose sports turf infill on a football or soccer field. If your track spec lists a 30 minus or similar grade, send it and we’ll quote it.

What is 30 minus used for?
It is often specified for asphalt rubber, molded rubber products, and other jobs that need a smaller particle than 20 minus or a 20/30 cut.
