ITERCHIMICA Superplast Polymers
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.
Polymeric Compounds for Mixes Modification: They are mixtures of plastomeric polymers that are added directly in the mixer during the production (PMA technology – Polymer Modified Asphalt) to improve the physical-mechanical performances of asphalt concretes. Quality standards of the final product containing Iterchimica’s polymeric compounds are optimised, obtaining higher tensile strength and greater resistance to fatigue, rutting and thermal excursion.
Achieved performances:
High mechanical properties: Indirect tensile strenght, stability, and Marshall stiffness
Higher resistance to fatigue and rutting
High Stiffness Modulus, distribution of stresses, with reduction of vertical deformations and rutting phenomena
Lower sensitivity to moisture
Greater performances even in countries affected by extreme weather conditions
INCREASE IN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE ASPHALT PAVEMENT = REDUCTION IN MAINTENANCE COSTS
What is PMA: Polymer Modified Asphalt?
Innovative and versatile solution => Polymers are added directly in the mixer during production
No need for special trucks and special tanks -> MORE EFFICIENT LOGISTIC
Less waste
PMA can be produced at ant time in contrast to PMB
Less cost with the same performance
easier production
The contractor can build different asphalt pavements according to specifications
