GREENYB (0136) - The rubber on ground can be a gold to your wallet

Today I will talk about what are the reason to encourage the usage of rubberised road in Malaysia.

I believe some may be wondering how does rubberised road come about to a hot weather like Malaysia - Will be rubber get melted on the ground ?

Well, I had to tell you that in fact, if rubber is added into the production of the asphalt road, it could actually strengthen the asphalt road in terms of preventing cracks compared to the conventional bituminous asphalt road that will melt due to hot season. In fact, in 2016, tar road in India melted due to extremely hot weather that disfigured the surface of the road as well.

Although there had not been such scene in Malaysia yet, but it is a global problem that the global weather had been rising every year due to pollution and diminishing forest from deforestation activities. I believe it will reach a time where Malaysia road will some how encounter such scenario like what happen in India, where the tar road literally melt. This will in turn become a hazardous event, as the melted portion will exposure a vehicle with risk of unable to brake in time, or skid off the track due to differences traction gain on the wheels.

For the case of Malaysia road, during the midday, it can achieve a temperature of 60 degree Celsius, which can soften then surface material and render the surface to be uneven when heavy vehicle ply through the roads.

Rubberised road is not a new thing actually. Back then in 1960, the US already have rubberised road, but by recycling the used tires.

For Malaysia, the rubberised road will be formed by using CMA technology. CMA (Cuplump Modified Asphalt ) is made by mixing freshly coagulated rubber with bitumen and asphalt. The coagulation of the rubber takes place in the cup at the tree with no manufacturing process being involved.

This kind of road pavement technology, although come with a higher cost, but is last longer than the conventional road, and also reduce the noise from wheel plying through as well. According to a research, rubberised road can reduce up to 7 decibels of noise, which is actually what the city folks in Kuala Lumpur need because a lot of building are constructed very near to the highways and main roads.

So how does all this thing translate to a better days for Greenyield ?

As you can see, Greenyield does not only cultivate rubber plantation, but also provides solution for this industry in order to enhance production through better harvesting material and stimulant. Solution such as latex stimulant, plant healing compound, and latex coagulant will be able to help smallholders to enhance their crop harvest.

The usage of rubber into road pavement will be looking to take up 10% of the total annual production, which will lift the price of rubber sharply.

In fact, Thailand had already started to build rubber road since 2013 in order to cushion the rubber price.

As Malaysia take part into this, I believe that the global price of rubber will stabilize and this industry will be able to see better prospect ahead again.
