Overview

Rosphalt® 50: Advanced Polymer Asphalt Additive

Rosphalt® 50 is a concentrated thermoplastic polymeric asphalt additive designed for use in batch or drum plants. Supplied in a dry powder form, this innovative product enhances the performance of asphalt mixes, providing a superior waterproofing wearing course that is highly resistant to rutting, shoving, and fuel damage.

Key Features

• Concentrated Formula: Added at 45 lbs. per finished ton of asphalt mix, Rosphalt® 50 delivers exceptional performance without the need for complex formulations.
• Waterproofing Capability: Creates a durable, waterproof wearing course ideal for various applications, ensuring long-lasting protection against moisture infiltration.
• Rutting and Shoving Resistance: Engineered to withstand high traffic loads, Rosphalt® 50 significantly reduces the risk of pavement deformation.
• Fuel Resistance: Suitable for environments exposed to fuels, making it an excellent choice for airport runways, toll booths, and other high-traffic areas.

Applications

Rosphalt® 50 is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

• New and replacement overlays on bridge decking (composite, orthotropic steel, post-tension box girder, steel grid, wood)
• High traffic intersections and entrance/exit ramps
• Terminal turnarounds and toll booths
• Airport runways and taxiways
• Parking decks and auto racetracks

Benefits

• Easy Installation: Utilizes standard paving equipment, allowing for rapid installation and minimizing labor costs.
• Rapid Return to Service: Modified overlays can be returned to service in as little as 1 hour once the pavement cools to 140°F.
• Extended Service Life: Asphalt mixtures modified with Rosphalt® 50 have a lifespan of 3.5 times that of traditional PG64-22 polymer modified asphalt, significantly reducing life cycle costs.
• Superior Rut & Shove Resistance: Independent lab testing shows Rosphalt® mixtures exhibit nearly 2/3 less rutting compared to standard PG64-22 mixtures.
• Convenient Packaging: Available in super sacs or bags on pallets, Rosphalt® 50 is easy to transport and store, eliminating the need for maintenance on storage tanks and piping.

Conclusion

Rosphalt® 50 is the ideal solution for those seeking a high-performance asphalt additive that enhances durability and longevity. Its unique properties make it suitable for a variety of demanding applications, ensuring that infrastructure remains resilient under heavy traffic conditions.
