The R4 process has been proven superior over any other rubber removal method, while maintaining the integrity of the pavement. This innovative process leaves the surface clean (including light fixtures) without removal of markings or joints. The entire process is very fast and environmentally sound. It meets or exceeds the strictest government regulations.
