Overview

Rosphalt® SG: Advanced Thermoplastic Polymer Asphalt Additive

Rosphalt® SG is a cost-effective, concentrated thermoplastic polymeric asphalt additive designed for batch or drum plants. Supplied in a dry powder form, this innovative product enhances the performance of asphalt mixes, making it an ideal choice for a variety of high-traffic applications.

Key Features

• Concentrated Formulation: Added at 24 pounds per finished ton of asphalt mix, Rosphalt® SG is engineered for optimal performance with target air voids of 1% to 1.5%.
• Waterproofing Capability: Provides a durable waterproofing wear-course that effectively protects against moisture infiltration.
• Rutting and Shoving Resistance: Highly resistant to deformation, ensuring longevity and stability in high-traffic areas.
• Fuel Resistance: Suitable for applications exposed to fuel, enhancing durability in critical environments.

Applications

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

• New and replacement overlays on concrete, post-tension box girder, steel grid, and wood bridge decks.
• High-performance pavements in areas such as toll booths, entrance and exit ramps, and high traffic intersections.
• Parking decks, airport runways, taxiways, and race tracks.

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® SG have a lifespan of 3.5 times that of traditional PG64-22 polymer modified asphalt, significantly reducing life cycle costs.
• Superior Performance: Independent lab testing shows Rosphalt® mixtures exhibit nearly 2/3 less rutting compared to PG64-22, ensuring a more durable surface.
• Convenient Storage: Packaged in super sacs or bags on pallets, eliminating the need for maintenance on storage tanks and secondary containment areas.

Conclusion

Rosphalt® SG is the ideal solution for those seeking a high-performance, cost-effective asphalt additive. Its unique properties not only enhance the durability and longevity of asphalt mixes but also streamline the installation process, making it a smart choice for any paving project.
