Adding AP to RAP

 

“The use of RAP continues to grow.  Each year new formulations are designed which allow for a greater percentage of RAP to be used in the mix.  The Wetfix range of adhesion promoters have an important part to play in these recipes due to variable aggregate quality and the presence of residual moisture.  Please look at the Wetfix Product Selector Chart which give details of some of the AkzoNobel products available from their UK distributor, Flomac Solutions.  The more active grades such as Diamine OLBS or Wetfix N422 would be an ideal starting point for RAP formulations.”

Warm mix additive from AkzoNobel

AkzoNobel recently announced an addition to their range of bitumen additives with the development of Rediset™ WMX. This new warm mix system significantly reduces the mixing and application temperatures whilst enhancing the moisture resistance properties of the mix.

 

Rediset™ WMX comes in a free flowing pastille form which can be easily added to the mixing unit via the Flomac dosing system or to the bitumen, at approx 1kg/t of the final mix. Other benefits of warm mix with Rediset™ WMX include:
