Anti-stripping agents
Iterlene anti-stripping agents are developed to counteract
the disgregating action of water and to guarantee a perfect
adhesion of bitumen to the aggregate. The innovative
process modifies the chemical structure of the bitumen
extending the service life of the pavement and allowing
to obtain better workability, compaction, wettability and
high mechanical resistance. These performing qualities
are suitable to multiple areas of use, such as urban roads,
airports, highways, etc.

RAP rejuvenators for hot mixes
Iterchimica’s rejuvenators for hot mixes give new life to
aged bitumen, thanks to their antioxidant and restoring
action. This line of products is designed in order to recover
materials, as it has a direct effect on the chemical-physical
structure of the oxidized bitumen, allowing to generate new
mixtures starting from RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement).
This process leads to a consequent reduction in the use of
virgin aggregates.

Rejuvenators for cold mixes with 100% RAP

Thanks to the green technology developed for these
rejuvenators, with Iterlene ACF HP Green it is possible to
recover 100% RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) through
a cold process, therefore reducing the environmental
impact due to the production and laying phases. The result
is a plastic, workable and sustainable asphalt mix that is
suitable for low traffic roads and cycle paths.

Anti-freezing additives
The Winterpave® product line uses an innovative technol-
ogy studied to delay the adhesion of ice to the road sur-
face. It lowers the freezing point of water and inhibits the
formation of ice-crystals. Winterpave® is homogeneously
dispersed in the asphalt mix without changing its struc-
tural properties. Ice can be easily removed by snow clear-
ing equipment. This technology diminishes the formation
of ice on road surfaces and consequently reduces the prob-
ability of accidents and decreases the use of salt.

Resin K products are developed to protect asphalt pave-
ment surfaces. Their action protects asphalt pavements
from the disgregating action of fuels and oils, especially in
areas where spillage is higher (i.e. airports, parking lots and
gas stations). These treatments are available in different
colours to be perfectly in harmony with the surrounding
environment and respectful of the context.
