Effects of Asphalt Additives on Pavement Performance

McAsphalt provides the highway construction industry with the highest quality asphalt additives that increase the adhesion between cement and asphalt aggregates and improve pavement performance by reducing grooving and damage caused by pavement performance and extending life.


Hot Mix Asphalt (WMA) cements offer a paving alternative to traditional binders that offer durability and performance while drastically reducing emissions, fuel consumption, and mixed oxidation. Adhesive properties of asphalt mixtures. WMA is a durable paving solution that significantly lowers the temperatures required for asphalt production and application. These reduced temperatures lead to a considerable reduction in fuel consumption, energy consumption, and environmental pollution and at the same time improve working conditions.


Liquid asphalt anti-slip additives or adhesion promoters are chemicals that are added to the asphalt to improve the coating of aggregates and to increase the strength and frequency of the chemical bond between asphalt and aggregate. in the presence of water. Moisture damage, if left unprotected, leads to premature failure of ruts, potholes, and ultimately sidewalks.


Liquid anti-slip additives are added to asphalt in small amounts, usually around 0.25-0.50% by weight. They are characterized by user-friendly properties and can be conveniently added to the asphalt in a variety of ways, be it from the asphalt terminal or the hot mix manufacturer. Liquid anti-skid agents benefit government agencies, the retail sector, and the automotive community by helping pavements meet design life, less frequent repairs that cause fewer driver delays, and better safety and driving experience.



Road Science has been the North American leader in the manufacture and innovation of liquid anti-slip for the past few decades. Our portfolio comprises three different product lines, each with specific properties and advantages.
