Zerathane™ Polymer Series
Sustainable Performance
Bio-Polymers
Polymer modified asphalts (PMA) as a paving grade or in
emulsion format have become an integral part of road binder technology.
As several of Ecostar's large volume customers have continually clamored
for ways to improve distressed asphalt(s) to achieve PG requirements we
have invented cost effective adducts for use on the hot mix side.
The demand to convert these 'new' polymerized asphalts to an emulsion
format has resulted in a new innovation, the Zerathane™
Polymer (ZP) Series.
The ZP Series allows us to provide a formulary with unmatched
performance in: curing, suspending, asphalt toughness modification and
cost reduction. Single package, AROS™ rubberized; micro-textured fog
seals, seal coat and Type I and II slurrys can now be produced which
perform as well or better than truck mixed counterparts but may be
stored for lengthy time periods and/or shipped long distances without
the need for any anti-separation or settling agitation. The formulas
use no clay or synthetic suspending agents and can be, as in the case
of a Type II slurry as high as 85% solids. Additives within the ZP
Series may also be used to raise the softening point and lower the
penetration, in the emulsion form, by as much as 40
°F and 20 dmm respectively.
