Stylink® innovative polymer modified asphalt technology is used in asphalt emulsions to improve the durability and performance of today's roads. Stylink polymer asphalt provides increased service life and cost savings, allowing the use of emulsions in applications where conventional asphalt emulsions or cutback asphalts have not worked in the past. Stylink asphalt's unique physical properties also improve the performance of the most commonly used asphalt emulsion applications.
When it comes to on-the-job application, Stylink emulsions perform. They look, apply and store like conventional emulsions. The polymer is pre-reacted in the asphalt before being emulsified. That means you won’t notice the polymer while handling the emulsion, but the elasticity will be evident as the emulsion is curing, and throughout the life of the pavement.
Some of the applications and benefits of Stylink Emulsions are listed below.
| Application |
Benefit |
| Chip Seals |
Early chip retention; reduced bleeding and flushing; better adhesion and elasticity at low temperatures; enables the use of chip seals for high volume roads |
| Low-Temperature Seal Coats |
Quicker and better adhesion to the rock and less aggregate loss (shelling) at low temperatures, allowing for late season and night paving. We has a special SemMaterials Stylink emulsion engineered specifically for this purpose. |
| Cold and Hot In Place Recycling |
Improved adhesion, cohesion, strength and durability of recycled mix. |
| Cold Mix, Warm Mix/ Cold Lay, Hot Emulsion Mix |
Excellent moisture resistance; better adhesion to surface to prevent delamination; better cohesive strength to prevent shoving; elasticity to extend durability. |
| Premium Patch Mix |
Improved adhesion to the pothole; cohesive strength to prevent deformation and raveling; and elasticity allowing permanent patching |
| Fog Seals |
Prevents raveling and extends pavement life. |
| Quick set Slurry Seals |
Higher stability allows earlier release to traffic; improves durability. |
| Tack Coats |
Adhesive property of the polymer prevents delamination between hot mix layers |
| Emulsions for specialty applications |
Whether used as a base for a recreational surface coating, autobody undercoating, or whatever your application that uses asphalt emulsions, a polymer modified Stylink emulsion will be easy to handle and give improved durability. |
