Services
Asphalt Preservation
Our asphalt preservation services use maltene-based rejuvenators to restore chemical balance in road surfaces. This proactive maintenance extends pavement life by 5-10 years per application. Independent testing confirms 56-63% viscosity reduction within three months of treatment.
Maltene Replacement
Maltene replacement technology addresses modern asphalt's inherent chemical deficiencies. Our treatments penetrate up to one inch deep, restoring flexibility and durability lost during manufacturing and oxidation processes. Field studies show 37% long-term viscosity reduction after nine years.
Rumble Strip Protection
Specialized treatments extend rumble strip effectiveness by 3-5 years. Our polymerized maltene emulsions prevent premature deterioration while maintaining tactile and audible warning functions critical for road safety.
Dust Control
Coherex dust retardant provides long-lasting control through chemical bonding of soil particles. This petroleum resin solution reduces airborne dust by creating agglomerates too heavy for wind displacement, improving air quality and road stability.
Joint Stabilization
JointBond treatment prevents longitudinal joint failure by penetrating deep into construction joints. This polymerized maltene emulsion seals against water intrusion and strengthens joint areas, extending service life by 3-5 years with minimal application time.

Questions
How does maltene replacement technology work?
Our treatments restore essential maltene compounds lost during asphalt manufacturing. These petroleum-based fractions penetrate deep into pavement, restoring flexibility and chemical balance to extend road life.
When should asphalt preservation treatments be applied?
For maximum benefit, apply Reclamite within 1-2 years of paving. CRF treatments work best on pavements showing early signs of aging (6-12 years old) with PCI 60-70.
What are the cost benefits of preventive maintenance?
Treatments cost 30-50% less than traditional resurfacing. Agencies report 29% life-cycle cost savings through extended pavement life and reduced emergency repairs.
How long do treatments last?
Reclamite extends pavement life 5-7 years per application. CRF provides 5-10 years of protection. Rumble strip treatments last 3-5 years with minimal traffic disruption.
Can treatments be used with other maintenance methods?
Yes, our products work synergistically with chip seals and microsurfacing. JointBond improves longevity of construction joints while preserving road markings.
Are treatments environmentally responsible?
Our maltene-based solutions use petroleum fractions that naturally complement asphalt chemistry. Coherex dust control contains no harmful solvents and builds soil stability.
