Cecabase® RWI:

Lowers Your Paving Carbon Footprint

  • Facilitates higher RAP utilization and less virgin bitumen usage without construction or performance problems
  • Enables high-RAP mixes to be produced, laid down and compacted at lower temperatures

Improves Operational Efficiency

  • Allows easier laydown, compaction and better mat density with fewer roller passes.
  • Adapts to any process or equipment due to its outstanding thermal stability.
  • Allows easier bitumen inventory management by preventing use of unusually soft grades.
  • Quickly remobilizes oxidized bitumen from RAP without the need to slow production rates.
  • Facilitates faster blending of extracted and virgin bitumen for consistently performing asphalt.
  • Enables the use of high-RAP mixes for base, surface and intermediate layers.

Reduces Costs

  • Lowers mix cost by enabling higher RAP usage and less virgin aggregate / bitumen usage.
  • Decreases working capital needed for bitumen inventory by avoiding the use of softer grade bitumen.
  • Ensures consistent bitumen supply with no need for additional storage or heating.
  • Reduces energy costs by limiting the need to superheat virgin aggregates.

Improves High-RAP Mix Performance

  • Lowers critical cracking temperature of asphalt to levels found in low-RAP mixes.
  • Prevents ageing of recombined bitumen for added durability.
  • Improves moisture resistance of the mix.
  • Improves mix density with less compaction effort.
And when you work with Arkema-Road Science, you’ll benefit from industry-leading responsive, comprehensive and dependable customer support focused on helping you succeed.
