Activated Bitumens
Repsol Perform: Activated Bitumens
With certain types of aggregate, both conventional and modified bitumens can have adhesion problems due to a lack of physicochemical affinity between the aggregate and the binder.
Properties and applications
Aware of this problem, Repsol has developed a wide range of additives that ensure reliable aggregate-binder behavior in the mixture, along with a selection of the most suitable bitumens.
The activator adhesive is added to the bitumen in the production process at the refinery, which guarantees a uniform end product.
