Within the framework of the project, large-sized tires that have served their time are recycled into rubber powder, which is the basis of the LUKOIL RKM modifier, improving the operational characteristics of road surfaces, which, as the company says, is confirmed by long-term field tests. Industrial production of the LUKOIL RKM modifier makes it possible to significantly reduce the volume of worn-out tires, the company adds.
