ARTS Educational Videos

Two instructional videos are now available through ARTS.

The first is an ARTS educational video, which promotes the use of scrap tires in recycled materials. This video, entitled "Where the Rubber Meets the Road", details the mission of the ARTS program and how it utilizes crumb rubber in hot mix asphalt (HMA) to make more durable roads and reduce waste in South Carolina.

The second is an instructional video geared towards asphalt contractors, engineers, and other technical personnel. The video shows step-by-step operation of the ARTS blending unit, in addition to plant and roadway procedures for rubber-modified asphalt applications.

To purchase your copy of either video, please send $9.95 by check or money order for shipping and handling to:

Asphalt Rubber Technology Service
2002 Hugo Drive
Clemson University
Clemson, SC 29634

Please include your name, address, phone number, your choice of video, and your choice of VHS, DVD, or CD. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
