REARM HR™
The asphalt industry is moving toward a smarter future. Recycled asphalt pavement, or RAP, has been a cornerstone of the North American asphalt industry for decades. However, high RAP mixes resulted in premature cracking. Today, by combining balanced mix design, lab performance testing and the latest technologies, we can revisit the use of this vital resource in many markets of North America.
REARM HR™ combines two products to achieve the desired HIGH RAPpercentage mix design. The first product is a highly engineered bio-oilto modify the virgin binder of the RAP mix. The second product is a treated para-aramid polymer that reinforces the combined virgin and RAP binder to improve the rutting and cracking performance. The key to these performance improvements relies on the unique strengths of each product
