Unlike traditional RAP Viscosity modification and/or PMB products that requre pre-blending , our high performance RAP polymer is supplied in solid pellet form, delivering significant operational advantages:

  • Simple Storage & Handling – Pellets can be stored in bags or containers without the need for heated tanks or stirring equipment. There is no risk of leakage or spillage common with liquid chemicals.

  • Direct Addition at Plant – The pellets are added directly into the asphalt mixing process with the hot aggregate, dispersing evenly without requiring calibrated sprayers or pumps.

  • Reduced Plant Maintenance – Being non-liquid, the additive eliminates issues of chemical corrosion, blocked nozzles, or pump failures, reducing downtime and long-term maintenance costs.

  • Improved Safety – Handling solid pellets minimises operator exposure to chemical vapours and avoids the hazards associated with hot liquid transfer.

  • Operational Flexibility – Can be introduced at batch or drum plants without retrofitting, allowing immediate use with existing equipment.

This pelletised form integrates seamlessly into the asphalt production process, making it a convenient, safe, and cost-effective alternative to liquid-based PMB’s while delivering significant performance in Asphlat overlays as thin as 10mm. Thats right, you read that right, 10mm.
