Arizona Chemical and Eurovia report that they have successfully used reclaimed asphalt that was specified as too hard for re-use on high-value road applications.

A life-cycle assessment has found that an asphalt mix containing a high percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) along with an additive by Arizona Chemical can produce a significantly lower carbon footprint than virgin asphalt mix or a mix containing a low percentage of RAP. The assessment study was carried out by third party Arthur D. Little, an international management consulting firm, using Arizona Chemical’s SYLVAROAD RP 1000 performance additive. The work noted that cradle-to-gate, a road aspha

Biorefiner Arizona Chemical has spent three years developing a new asphalt additive which it says will revolutionise the use of RAP in road pavements. Sylvaroad RP1000 will allow much higher proportions of RAP to be used and produce a better-performing pavement, according to the manufacturer. “What it essentially does is mobilise the chemical matrix of these aged binders,”
