-
high RAP & RAS?
Our GREEN and 100% renewable rejuvenator chemistries extract and recover the aged binder and promote re-distribution of the regenerated binder across the old and new aggregate. Low temperature PG performance and crack resistance are improved and the resulting mix will yield full warm-mix benefits.
( “Warm-Mix and High RAP Additives” in Product Descriptions on Our Products page.) -
warm mix & compaction?
- ⎭ warm mix?
Today, the focus behind warm-mix has changed from saving energy at the mix plant to the quest for better compaction; potentially reducing the number of required rollers, reducing the time for road closures and/or extending the paving season in Northern climates.
We offer multiple proven pathways to warm-mix with one path being the same GREEN chemistries that support high RAP/RAS content in your mix. These unique chemistries substantially enhance water- foaming as a far-improved warm-mix option than the use of water alone. No other chemistry can offer the combined benefits of high RAP/RAS and warm-mix in a single additive.
A second chemistry path offers equivalent warm-mix benefits from a slip-agent technology with substantially improved low-temperature mix handling characteristics.

modify binder viscosity?
- ⎭ water foaming?
Our GREEN and 100% renewable chemistries offer safe, efficient and economical means to reduce binder viscosity and adjust the PG of the binder, versus using aromatic extracts or other products that may contain or be produced from hazardous ingredients.

water foaming?
The #1 complaint with water-foaming today is the rapidly stiffening mix as it’s hauled to the job site. Our GREEN and 100% renewable chemistries will better than triple the foam half-life, extending hauling distance and extending laydown and compaction time, while at the same time, leaving behind an enhanced and more durable and age-resistant binder.

improve workability?
Enter description here.
All of our warm-mix technologies offer substantially improved workability to your mix, regardless if a virgin mix or RAP/RAS mix. Many recycle mixes are stiff and difficult to handle. These additives, while also improving PG of the recycle binder, will make these difficult mixes manageable again.

cracking & raveling?
Enter description here.
Our GREEN and 100% renewable chemistries offer significant improvement in crack resistance of the pavement mix. The rejuvenation and co-mingling of any recycle binder with the virgin binder assures improved mix strength that is less prone to cracking and raveling.
(“Asphalt Performance Modifiers” in Product Descriptions on Our Products page.) -
dry or stiff mix?
Enter description here.
Most dry or stiff mixes result from insufficient binder or ineffective recycle binder in a mix. Our GREEN and 100% renewable rejuvenator chemistries extract and recover the aged RAP/RAS binder and promote co-mingling with the virgin binder and re-distribution of the regenerated binder across the old and new aggregate.
(“Asphalt Performance Modifiers” in Product Descriptions on Our Products page.) -
improve binder m-Value?
Enter description here.
Where “m-Value” is the rate of change of Creep Stiffness of the binder over time, many refiners processing synthetic crude oil have seen a significant decline in m-Value of their asphalt. A small addition of our GREEN and 100% renewable chemistries offers significant improvement in m-Value for those unusual binders with high asphaltene content, and at nominal cost to the refiner, terminal or the contractor.

Engineered Additives, through the use of select and proprietary chemistries developed by our Technology Partners and Alliance Partners, offers a broad selection of asphalt modifiers, polymer compatibilizers and cross-linkers for use in the paving and roofing material industries.
These products offer (1) improved SBS & GTR compatibility with asphalt, (2) improvements in PG characteristics of base asphalts, (3) enhanced compound characteristics for the paving contractor or roofing manufacturer, (4) improvements in water foaming technologies, (5) PG grade bump capability or significant performance improvement for paving without need of special high-shear equipment, (6) more effective use of recycled or renewable materials such as RAP & RAS by proven recovery of the aged binder PG, (7) improved workability as compaction aids and (8) reduced paving or roofing product costs.
Engineered Additives, working in conjunction with its Technology Partners and Alliance Partners, can offer its customers some unique modifiers, cross-linkers and additives as well as ready access to conventional polymers, all for use by the paving and roofing industries. Our collective knowledge and experience in these market segments positions us well to guide and assist our customers, providing the materials and the technical support that will work for them, regardless of the asphalt source.
Our proprietary materials offer a proven pathway to improving durability characteristics of base asphalt for uses in modified and non-modified asphalt products and they substantially improve polymer affinity in polymer modified asphalt formulations. Use of these products does not require any unique or expensive equipment by the end user. Our materials are available in liquid, powder or pellet form and will efficiently blend into any asphalt with simple agitation and moderate applied heat.
