Add Elasticity, Strength, and Durability to Roads

Industrial Road Dust Control

The shortfalls of asphalt emulsions are well documented:  pitting, cracking, instability, dust, tackiness, failure to cure properly, and weather damage among them. You can eliminate or dramatically reduce these problems short- and long-term with a proven polymer-modified asphalt emulsion, Road Pro® NT. It is the perfect alternative to an ordinary asphalt emulsion that will not only improve road performance, but reduce your life cycle costs in the process.  

The polymers in Road Pro NT add strength, elasticity, adhesion, cohesion and durability to a typical asphalt emulsion. By locking in place the hazardous components of asphalt so they cannot escape into the air, non-corrosive Road Pro NT reduces the risk of exposure to poly-nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s).

Road Pro NT is also your assurance that you will be in compliance with Clean Air Act requirements regarding PM10 emissions.

Vital Statistics

• Creates smooth, firm, stable surface that can handle large equipment
• Improves road stability and durability regardless of weather
• Sheds water; is not water soluble
• Will not dry or crack
• Reduces watering and grading costs
• Will not get tacky in extreme heat

Better chemistry = better performance

Asphalt used in an ordinary asphalt emulsion is thermoplastic; it gets softer when heated and firmer when cooled. The asphalt will soften in the heat of summer resulting in ruts and tracks, and will harden in the winter, which leads to cracking. In the heat of sun, volatile compounds evaporate from the asphalt, and the surface will oxidize and become brittle.

With its polymer modification, RoadPro NT changes the flow properties of the liquid asphalt so it can stand up to the sun, wind, weather and traffic loadings. It is providing improved overall performance for Midwest customers because it improves dust control performance and surface life while reducing maintenance costs.
