USE GILSONITE® IN ASPHALT BINDER AND RECYCLED ASPHALT TO BUILD ROADS THAT LAST.

High-performance road surfaces have long been made possible with the use of Gilsonite® uintaite. The superior properties of Gilsonite® make it the go-to modifier for hot mix pavements and pavement sealers.

HOT MIX

As an asphalt binder modifier, the unique properties of Gilsonite® uintaite make a road that is less susceptible to high-temperature and deformation performance issues. When these modified binders are used in recycled asphalt pavements, Gilsonite® adds back what time has taken from the old asphalt, making it easier to use more of this recycled material. The Gilsonite®-modified asphalt binder will produce a stronger road that can be thinner by nearly 20 percent compared with other pavements. For more information about this application, please contact us.

As an aggregate modifier, Gilsonite® uintaite can be added directly at the hot mix plant with no additional equipment. The excellent bonding properties of Gilsonite® will produce a high-strength, high-performance pavement that also resists water stripping.

  • High strength and durability
  • Superior deformation performance
  • Reduced pavement thickness
  • Reduced temperature susceptibility
  • Increased resistance to water stripping

Gilsonite® makes roads stronger to last longer.

PAVEMENT SEALERS

Gilsonite® uintaite’s proven properties make high-performance solvent-based and emulsion pavement sealers dry quicker, look better and last longer. Gilsonite® is Naturally Better®. As a natural antioxidant, it allows pavement sealers to stay blacker longer. Gilsonite® uintaite’s unique molecular fractions rejuvenate the pavement being sealed. The strong bonding properties of Gilsonite® help weatherproof the sealer.

Making longer-lasting pavement helps the environment. By rejuvenating pavements with recycled asphalt instead of replacing them, there is a proven significant reduction in energy used as well as a reduction in required resources. For further information, please contact us.
