Increases Tensile Strength Ratio
The photo of the core samples to the right shows an actual mix design with and without Pavegrip. It is apparent that the sample without Pavegrip exhibits stripping of the asphalt cement from the aggregate. Stripping or loss of adhesion leads to premature pavement failures. Pavegrip dramatically improves adhesion and increases the tensile strength ratio
of the mix.
High Performance = Cost Effectiveness
Pavegrip is specially formulated to increase the lifespan of asphalt pavements. Industry studies
have shown adhesion promoters can increase a pavement’s quality lifespan by over 30%. This
can be obtained by using as little as one half pound of Pavegrip per ton of asphalt mix. Tests
such as AASHTO T-283, ASTM D-4867 or the Hamburg Wheel Test all show significant
improvement when using Pavegrip in the mix design. Usual dosage is 0.5 to 1.0% of the weight
of the asphalt in the mix. Pavegrip is also less than half the cost of hydrated lime.
Easy and Safe to Use
Pavegrip is a unique, high-performance, low-odor liquid with excellent heat stability that can be added directly into the asphalt cement. It can be added at the asphalt terminal or at a local hot mix plant. Unique’s technical engineers can help you determine the best method for your application or facility. This simple process eliminates product loss as well as lime dust contamination into the atmosphere.
