Bitpath works closely with its distributor Amaz Chemicals LLP to provide outstanding service and technical support to customers in the region.
PGXpand®
PGXpand is a unique engineered polymer additive used to enhance the high temperature performance of bitumen without impacting low temperature properties. The resulting polymer modified bitumen (PMB) results in roadways with excellent rutting resistance and weathering performance. It is easy to incorporate into a plant operation and can be mixed into bitumen using low shear mixers and short mixing times, resulting in lower overall mix cost.
PGXpand trials were conducted on a stretch of the Namel Expressway in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in early 2021. A report on this trial was published in the May 2021 issue of AsphaltPro Magazine.
ReLIXER®/ReJUVN8®
ReLIXER is an elixir of green bio-based oils. ReLIXER rapidly permeates into the RAP particles, rejuvenating and restoring the functional performance of the aged bitumen in RAP. An environmentally friendly product, ReLIXER® helps reduce the overall cost of mix by reducing the need for virgin bitumen.
For road repair and maintenance, ReLIXER® is used to create ReLIXER® Rejuvenating Emulsions for applications such as: slurry seal, microsurfacing, chip seal, scrub seal, and fog seal.
ReLIXER® is being successfully used by contractors in India to incorporate high levels of RAP into various highway projects in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal.
SriCote®
SriCote is an amine-free anti-stripping agent that delivers extraordinary performance in demanding paving environments.
SriCote creates a better bond between bitumen and low-quality aggregates, reducing raveling and potholes, and prolonging the durability and performance of roadways. SriCote offers exceptional protection against fuel and moisture in demanding applications like airports.
PHALANX®
PHALANX is a superior warm mix additive (WMA) designed to improve compactability of hot asphalt mixes and polymer modified bitumen (PMB) mixes. An environmentally friendly WMA, PHALANX is also highly dosage efficient.
PHALANX helps reduce paving temperatures while improving compactability of the mix even at lower temperatures
