Insert Picture here. What is Coolpave (TM) with LEA? Manufacturing Mix temperatures reduction Reduce carbon footprint Workability improvements Eliminate fumes Increase work safety Reduce odours Reduce green house gases

Insert Picture here. Environmental Benefits  Reduction in production temperatures  45 % reduction in fuel  Up to 50% reduction greenhouse gases  More than half Carbon Footprint  No smoke fuming  No odour when manufactured  20 times fewer emissions and fuming in field  Ideal for urban areas with pedestrians  More pleasant for laying crew  Large reduction in use of release agent

Insert Picture here. Environmental Benefits Standard Hotmix

Insert Picture here.  Compacts easily as hotmix  Retains its workability for longer  More time for compaction  Good for long duration hand work, mix will retain workability  Can be placed in colder temperatures  Can be carted further  Improvement in longitudinal joints Constructability

Insert Picture here.  Anti-stripping  Compaction can be achieved on  stiffer mixes  colder temperatures  Longitudinal joints  Mix designs : Adopting AAHSTO R35 Addendum  All international research  Logistical Technical Benefits

Insert Picture here. Why in OGPA ? First for NZ OGPA generally fails by ravelling, this is a function of design, ageing of binder and maintenance of structural integrity OGPA Coolpave (TM) with LEA oxidises binder less in manufacture Can be used with Recycle polymer, SBS or straight bitumen

Insert Picture here. OGPA Design with Coolpave Design is same as with P/11 or P/23 design criteria for mix Binder coats aggregate by wetting, wetting is determined by both chemistry and temperature In Coolpave with LEA™ an additive that is similar in chemistry to antistrips BUT non toxic is added to give wetting and stone coating at lower temperatures Moisture is added which foams the bitumen and improves workability Mix temperatures are up to 40C lower than for standard OGPA
