High Performance Mastic Asphalts

The additive Selenizza® is ideal for manufacturing Mastic Asphalts, with high resistance to rutting and superior waterproofing capabilities.

The mastic asphalts obtained using the additive Selenizza®, are optimal for various applications:

Waterproofing of bridge-decks, tunnels, viaducts…
Asphalt paving by providing comfortable floor surface areas and walkways resistant to punching and with good hardness and soundness, maximizing in-service performance
Roofing of industrial, residential and commercial structures with superior waterproofing capabilities.
To coat floors in factories & other industrial facilities, particularly those subject to frequent spills or high amounts of chemical use.
Urban environments particularly for paving sidewalks or public gardens
Automotive soundproofing and rust prevention

Our product conforms to EN 12970 art.4.1.3 table B2

Benefits

The additive Selenizza^® SLN is compatible with all types of bitumen and its asphaltene content confers to bituminous mixes exceptional rheological and mechanical properties.

Better resistance to rutting and punching.
Better heat resistance.
A cost saving up to 17% thanks to the reduced asphalt layer thickness.

Easy to use: once it is fed into the mixer, Selenizza^® SLN is completely diluted in the asphalt mixture.
Easy to store: cold and solid product
Natural asphalt: directly extracted from the mine.

Mode of use

It can be blended directly with the hot bitumen in tanks, but usually, it is added during the asphalt mixing process (in the mixer for the discontinuous asphalt plants, or in the recycling ring for the continuous plants).
Depending on the added quantity of Selenizza SLN and on the characteristics of base bitumen as well, it is possible to obtain precise penetration and R&B softening point values of the resulting binder.

Its acidity index enhances the adherence of the constituents of mix asphalt. Selenizza^® is completely and uniformly miscible with base bitumen. The resulting high performance asphalt mixes are homogenous and ensure better workability.
