Boost Your RAP Usage with Cecabase® RWI
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.
