Reclamite is refined from a naphthenic (wax <br />free) base that seals and preserves the surface "in-depth". <br />Components of Asphalt. <br />ecord <br />First Acldaffir s <br />Acidaffins <br />#sphaatenes <br />Polar <br />ofT potind!� <br />Siatu rated <br />Bydrocwbonz <br />0, When should Reclamite be used? <br />Reclamite is a "top -of -the -curve" application. Apply to newer <br />pavement (less than six years old in northern climates, less <br />than ten years old in southern climates) that shows minimal <br />signs of surface deterioration. <br />Petroleum MaltenemBased <br />Rejuvenating Agent <br />► How does it work? <br />Reclamite has been used for more than 50 years and is proven <br />to add 5-7 years service life to pavements. 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 Treated with Reclamite <br />AVI ■ Road treated with Reclamite <br />■ Road with no Maintenance <br />El with microsurface or chip seal <br />Serviceability <br />Major Rehabilitation Needed <br />W-- <br />Service Life Added <br />Pavement Lifetime <br />
