R.O.A.D Co. LLC
Rubber Optimization And Development Co.,LLC was formed to act as the holding company responsible for the licensing and sales of patented and/or proprietary technologies related to asphalt modification. These technologies have arisen from basic research conducted by Polymer Consultants, Inc. and to date have resulted in the creation of the Levi-Tech® and the MIX-Maxer® solutions to the use of ground tire rubber (GTR) in asphalt mix formulations.*
Levi-Tech® allows wet processed GTR to remain suspended in hot, liquid
asphalt for up to 72 hours without stirring prior to its use in an
asphalt mix.
MIX-Maxer® is a pre-treated GTR that can be directly added
into an asphalt mix at the mix plant without first having to wet process
the GTR. MIX-Maxer® dramatically expands the commercial viability of the
use of GTR in asphalt while providing enhanced performance properties
over those attained with polymer modified asphalts at a reduced cost.
Work is ongoing in the development of RAP-Maxer® which is a dry,
free-flowing asphalt modifier. RAP-Maxer® is designed to allow for the
increased use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) over even that of
MIX-Maxer® which can handle the incorporation of up to 25% RAP by weight
in an asphalt mix formulation. It is anticipated that with the use of
RAP-Maxer®, a contractor will be able to use up to 50% by weight RAP in
an asphalt mix without sacrificing desired pavement properties.
