ITERCHIMICA Asphalt Additives

Iterchimica S.r.l. is an Italian firm established in 1967 by Gabriele Giannattasio and which currently operates in more than 90 countries, supplying additives for asphalt. Iterchimica (name composed by the latin word “iter” – that stands for road – and “chimica” = the chemistry of road) produces and distributes products that enhance asphalt pavement properties in order to increase safety, environmental sustainability, efficiency and performances.

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.

Emulsifiers: Iterchimica has developed a wide range of innovative emulsifiers: cationic and anionic, products for Rapid – Medium and Slow settings, for both road and industrial use. Bitumen treated with emulsifiers is suited for applications such as prime and tack coat, cold recycling, slurry-seal, single-double-triple layer, special bituminous pastes, etc.

Cold Asphalt in bags and local production: Itercold is a practical and green solution for road maintenance: cold, ecological and plastic asphalt concrete, packed in bags of 25 kg and ready to be used. It is produced with ecological flux oils. It remains plastic both during hot and cold seasons. In fact, it can be used also on wet surfaces.

If the asphalt to be produced locally, we can supply different additives according to the production methods: in asphalt plant; or mixing bucket with emulsion; or mixing bucker with emulsion and 100% reclaimed material (RAP).

Surface coloring systems: They are mortars and paints available in a wide range of colours that are applied on asphalt pavement surfaces. These treatments improve the visibility of asphalt pavements and their integration with the surrounding urban or rural landscape.

Oxides for asphalt concrete: They are pigments in powder or in granules used to colour asphalt mixes. A prestigious solution that is also very practical to obtain special road pavements. Iterchimica offers a wide range of options in terms of colours in order to meet any needs concerning landscape and/or urban design.

Anti-kerosene surface treatment: Resin K products are developed to protect asphalt pavement 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.

Anti-kerosene additives for asphalt mix: Asphalt resistance is constantly damaged by the contact with fuels and oils deriving from means of transport; the treatment with the anti-kerosene chemical additives, ITERKEROSIN, protects the road pavement and ensures its perfect durability against wearing. The product is added directly in the mixer during the production of asphalt mixtures for wearing-courses.
