ADVANTAGES OF LUCOWAX®
Dosing 5 % of Lucowax 1761® can:
- Reduce viscosity and therefore improve the compressibility of asphalt
- Reduce penetration
- Increase the softening point
- Improve water resistance
- Increase the pasticity span and therefore lead to better deformation resistance of asphalt, especially at high temperatures
- Allows for a reduction in asphalt mixing and laying temperatures by up to 30 °C saving energy, reducing fume emissions and minimize oxidative hardening
- Allows for the use of a higher percentage of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)
