Anti-strip agents help improve adhesion between materials in an asphalt mix in order to promote durability and performance. Stripping typically occurs when moisture is able to get between bitumen and aggregate particles in a mix, causing distress and deterioration that can require roadway repairs or replacements. SriCote®, an amine-free anti-strip agent, enhances the bonding between bitumen and aggregate in a paving mix, offering improved protection against raveling, rutting, and pothole formation. SriCote helps minimize damage typically caused when road pavements are exposed to moisture and fuel. It improves long-term roadway performance and durability, delivering longer-lasting roadways with smoother rides.

How Anti-Strip Agents for Asphalt Work

Asphalt mixes are designed to withstand everything from high traffic loads to extremes in temperature changes. This includes moisture resistance, which plays an important role in safeguarding roadway surfaces from wear. Liquids of any kind can directly impact an asphalt mix’s ability to resist raveling, rutting, or giving way to potholes. Rainwater, runoff, and even fuel oils can worsen [...]

Understanding Anti-Strip Agents for Asphalt – Frequently Asked Questions

High-traffic pavements may deteriorate more quickly based on frequent use, constant wear, and heavier loads. Compounding the issue are wet weather conditions and exposure to fuel, both of which can worsen long-term durability of the pavement surface. Using an anti-strip agent for asphalt paving can provide additional protection and improve surface performance to protect against rutting, raveling, and [...]
