HOT MIX ASPHALT ADDITIVES

With today’s rapidly aging infrastructure, government agencies, asphalt producers and contractors are being challenged to build longer-lasting roads with technologies that not only perform well, but are also cost-effective and operationally efficient, while ensuring worker comfort and safety.

Road Science’s NovaGrip line of next-generation liquid anti-stripping asphalt additives fully addresses today’s challenges. NovaGrip safeguards workers from the hazards of traditional anti-strips by using chemistry that is less hazardous and safer for workers, and also eradicates the smoke, odor and dust problems typical of traditional additives. NovaGrip’s adhesion promoting technology makes roads last longer by creating powerful chemical bonding between asphalt and aggregate that lasts even with prolonged exposure to water. NovaGrip additives add operational flexibility to the asphalt terminal or mix plant since they are compatible with all asphalt modifiers, and do not interact with other asphalt and mix components to adversely affect asphalt properties or grading.

NOVAGRIP BENEFITS

Safer and worker-friendly

• Safer chemistry poses fewer health hazards and risks to workers
• Odorless in hot asphalt for improved plant and paving crew comfort
• Smokeless in hot asphalt eradicating the need for vapor control equipment and eliminating worker and citizen complaints
• Non-hazardous and non-regulated for transport option available offering the highest worker safeguards possible while reducing compliance and logistics costs

Improved Operational Efficiency

• Compatible with all types of asphalt modifiers, including PPA
• Eliminates need to use more than one additive at terminal or mix plant
• Improves mix workability for easier handwork
• Remains effective in asphalt stored at 300 °F for several weeks to months

Longer-Lasting Roads

• Extends pavement life and protects from moisture damage caused distresses such as raveling, rutting and pothole formation
• Improves safety and motorist experience
• Reduces life cycle, maintenance and user delay costs

For more than 25 years and counting, agencies, producers and contractors continue to rely on AD-here liquid anti-strip additives more than any other. The AD-here line of products offers industry the widest variety of feature options, depending on specific customer needs.
