- Industrial Additives Features
- Features
- Value for money: Wetfix 312 is a concentrated product with consequent low dosage and low treatment costs
- Heat stability: The performance is maintained after storage in hot bitumen
- Low volatility: The product does not contain solvents and has low volatility at hot mix temperatures
- Combined systems: Treated bitumen has the ability to coat damp or wet aggregates, which ensures good coverage in applications like patch mix and cold mix techniques with foamed bitumen.
- Adhesion promoter for various cutback applications with siliceous aggregates that provides the best value for the money
-
Wetfix® 312 is a Liquid antistrip for hot mix.
- Low Dosage: Wetfix® 312 is a concentrated product with low use level.
- Concentrates: Wetfix® 312 contain no or low levels of diluents and is typically used at 0.5%. Bulk stores may require heat.
- High performance: Wetfix® 312 typically is effective at the very lowest use levels and with difficult aggregates.
- Low odor: Wetfix® 312 has low volatility at hot mix temperatures. Wetfix® 312 is preferably added to the asphalt at the mix plant by means of a specially designed injection system.
- Versatile adhesion promoter. Also suitable for soft bitumen mixes
- Good active adhesion properties. Suitable for soft bitumen mixes and spray applications with cutback/soft bitumen.
- Adhesion promoter that provides the best value for the money
- Adhesion promoter with excellent active adhesion properties. Pelletized product for convenient on-site addition.
- Environmentally friendly, exceptionally low odor compatible with PPA modified and standard asphalt binders
Alternatively, the product can be incorporated into the asphalt by mechanical agitation, pump circulation of storage tank, or by injection into the asphalt loading line followed by recirculation through the truck bypass system until properly mixed.
