Modified Asphalt foam (BITAFLEX AME) for recycling cold spot | New product

SPECIAL BITAFAL ASFALTOS It has recently added to its product line Asphalt Modified Foam (BITAFLEX AME) Seeking to improve and standardize the quality of asphalt used in cold recycling technology in situ and also to use it in cold weather increasing work performance.

These properties are verified by foaming curves, which consist of measuring the maximum occupied by the asphaltic foam volume and time required for that volume is reduced to half. These curves characteristic parameters expansion and half-life are obtained.

In the graphs below a comparative behavior expansion and half-life shown 160C for national versus AC 20 bit FLEX AME.

AME BITAFLEX components provide a better quality foam specific surface area and duration, with a half life time expansion and more than double than conventional asphalt refinery. They ensure a decrease in surface tension with the consequent reduction in viscosity at the time of foaming.

These factors allow provide the following advantages:
* A better dispersion of the foam on aggregates favoring adhesion of the binder with the stone.
* Lower foaming temperature, saving on heating and facilitating logistics work.
* The possibility of recycling in cold weather.
* Improved mechanical properties of the processed mixtures.

We invite you to learn more about this product on our website.

Foam Asphalt Laboratory | Technology in the CITEVI

Accompanying the development of new technologies of cold recycling in situ foamed bitumen, the sion It has incorporated specific equipment for the design of new foam asphalts and evaluation of the characteristics of the processed mixtures.

They have incorporated a device for foaming asphalt, the Wirtgen WLB 10 S and mixer blades attachable to the equipment for preparing foamed bitumen mixtures The Wirtgen WLM 30. Furthermore stoves have been incorporated and accessories press multifunction account Center to carry out the relevant tests.

In recent months the company CVC has worked in the CITEVI in the design and evaluation of foam bitumen stabilized materials (BSM) and subsequently evaluating the path made of Route 36.

He sion is a research center open to the national road middle and invite interested parties to make us your inquiries.
