What is Reclamite? <br />According to the National Center for Pavement Preservation <br />"a true asphalt rejuvenator is a maltene-based petroleum <br />product which has the ability to absorb or penetrate into <br />an asphaltic concrete pavement and restore those reactive <br />components (maltenes) that have been lost from the asphalt <br />cement binder due to the natural process of oxidation." <br />Reclamite comprises the same maltene fractions as the <br />asphalt binder. Reclamite is refined from a naphthenic (wax <br />free) base that seals and preserves the surface "in-depth". <br />Components of Asphalt. <br />First <br />idaffirrs <br />Second <br />Acidaffins <br />Saturated <br />F-Cydroc. rxs <br />10" When should Reclamite be used? <br />Reclamite is a "top -of -the -curve" application.

It penetrates, <br />rejuvenates and seals the surface by replenishing the lost <br />maltene fraction in the asphalt binder. Maltene is necessary to <br />make the surface durable and flexible. Reclamite fluxes with <br />the asphalt binder, restoring the aggregate/asphalt bond. <br />Reclamite prevents raveling and stripping and, by densifying <br />the pavement's surface, it helps address compaction issues, <br />reduces surface permeability, and prevents air and moisture <br />intrusion. It adjusts viscosity and penetration values. It does <br />not contain degreasers, solvents or creosotes. <br />Pavement Lifetime <br />• Road treated with Reclamite <br />• Road with no Maintenance <br />❑ Road with microsurface or chip seal <br />Service Life Added <br />Main Office (800) 374-5560 • CorrectiveAsphalt.com <br />
