<p>RAILROAD TIES MADE OF RECYCLED TIRE FRAGMENTS This invention relates to the use of rubber fragments from discarded tires in railroad ties. Such ties are made using rubber fragments which contain steel, polyester, or other strands or fibers, and which therefor are less expensive to prepare than fragments from which the reinforcing strands have been removed. These fragments are mixed with an epoxy mixture comprising an oxiranecontaining resin and an amine-containing hardening agent. Test samples made using the materials described herein have excellent hardness, strength, durability, and nail-gripping characteristics.</p> |
