LINTEC's Innovative Solution: Waterborne Cationic Epoxy Resin for Asphalt Applications
February 20, 2025
LINTEC, a leading innovator in bonding and protection, presents an innovative solution featuring waterborne cationic epoxy resin. This technology, especially the LINTEC EP - 803, is making waves in the asphalt industry.
In scenarios like bonding new and old asphalt layers or treating milled - surface sidewalls in inadequately milled sections, cationic emulsified asphalt is commonly used. When
waterborne cationic epoxy resin's key component, EP - 803, is added to cationic emulsified asphalt, it works wonders. It notably raises the asphalt's softening point and improves its high - temperature performance. This allows the tack coat asphalt to reach a non - stick - wheel state quickly, speeding up construction and reducing the project timeline.
The application has specific steps. First, the sub - base surface must be thoroughly cleaned, with dust removed and, if needed, washed with water. For spraying, the temperature should be above 10℃, and there should be no strong wind or approaching rain. EP - 803 is added at 5% - 10% to emulsified asphalt below 40℃, by 10 minutes of slow stirring.
