    CHEMICAL BONDING

    Unlike conventional antistrips which form a weak physical bond between the aggregate and
    bitumen, ZycoTherm-AS forms a permanent chemical bond between the aggregate and the
    bitumen. Due to the permanent nature of the chemical bond formed, there are significant
    gains with respect to moisture resistance, durability and overall life cycle costs for the
    pavement. ZycoTherm-AS is compatible with all aggregate types, works at significantly lower
    dosages compared to conventional antistrips and is an environmentally friendly additive that
    is non-corrosive and odor free.

    COMPLETE COATING

    ZycoTherm-AS modified bitumen coats aggregate surfaces in a significantly faster and easier
    manner compared to conventional additives. The superior coating and wetting attributes of
    ZycoTherm-AS ensure easy coating of fines, better mixing of RAP and jet black looking mixes.
    The complete coating of aggregates by ZycoTherm-AS modified bitumen also leads to mixes
    that are free of pinholes and have reduced stripping and oxidative potential.

    DOSAGE

    • The typical dosage range for ZycoTherm-AS is 0.03 to 0.1% by weight of the bitumen binder.
    If aggregate type and characteristics are known, refer to the table below for indicative
    dosages. Adjust the same based on mix testing.

    • It is critical that ZycoTherm-AS be thoroughly mixed into the bitumen to ensure


    homogenous distribution of the product.
