Reclamite ™ is an asphalt rejuvenating emulsion that restores the asphalt pavement back to its proper chemical balance, improves flexibility, eliminates cracking and potholes, reduces road fatigue, and slows the oxidation process.
This penetrating maltene replacement technology process is designed to extend the life of newly constructed pavement, and for corrective maintenance on deteriorated pavements to preserve roads in their current condition, delaying deterioration and more costly treatments.
An applicator truck sprays the Reclamite ™ on the asphalt surface. The emulsion goes down pink and penetrates the asphalt and changes color in about 15-30 minutes depending on temperature and other factors.
A light coating of sand is then applied to absorb any material left over and reduce tracking of the material. Although odorless, during the application process, pets and children should not be allowed on the street. All vehicles, traffic, and parked cars must be off the streets that will be treated by 7 a.m.
The contractor will close the street and apply the rejuvenator with a fog seal application.
Reclamite ™ is a petroleum maltene-based treatment and will temporarily darken the pavement. If residue gets on driveways, wash it with water or it will wear off in two to six weeks. If residue gets on a vehicle, wash it immediately with soap and water or use a mild solvent remover such as Bug and Tar Remover, WD-40, etc.
