In-Situ Asphalt Recycling

Today’s rapidly aging infrastructure has left roads in urgent need of upgrades and repairs. Funding has not kept pace with the demand, resulting in roads that cannot support increasing traffic loads plagued with potholes, dust, and rutting that impede the flow of the people, goods, and services that drive commerce.

In-situ asphalt recycling addresses this challenge by providing solutions to reclaim the materials used in existing, deteriorated pavement. The materials are recycled in-situ (in place), and an emulsion stabilizer or asphalt binder is added to facilitate the construction of a new, stronger road. With in-situ recycling, not only is the original asphalt investment preserved but with minimal virgin asphalt needed, costs are significantly reduced.

Arkema’s in-situ asphalt recycling technologies are engineered to deliver the highest and most reliable performance. They are different from conventional recycling techniques because they integrate exclusive Stabiram^®and Dinoram^® emulsifier chemistry plus an engineered design process to meet performance-related specifications. These technologies reduce costs by at least 25% compared to conventional construction techniques and provide environmentally friendly options for rehabilitating roads with minor to major distresses.

Arkema’s in-situ recycling solutions include:

Cold-In-Place Recycling (Reflex^®)
Full Depth Reclamation and Granular Base Stabilization (Fortress^®)
Hot-In-Place Recycling (Restore^®)
