EcoRAP provides for an incredibly hard, dense and drivable surface that takes advantage of RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement.) EcoRAP is a 100% organic emulsion which enables the replacement of bitumen-based hot mix applications. EcoRAP makes one of the most widely used paving materials on the planet GREEN. The finished surface of an EcoRAP paved road has a higher compressive strength
than a comparable asphalt emulsion mix,
for a cost-effective solution that is GREEN.
EcoRAP is a revolutionary product that binds aggregate fines of recycled asphalt to produce a strong, long-lasting, environmentally friendly driving surface.

EcoRAP – How it Works
EcoRAP binds recycled aggregate and fines in an environmentally friendly, radically new cold process for a 100% environmentally friendly solution. EcoRAP can either be mixed in with the RAP at a pugmill, it can be added during cold in-place recycling, or directly sprayed onto a windrow of RAP before rolling and compacting. EcoRAP is typically added at a rate of 4% by weight of RAP material. Additional fines may be added for a stronger and longer lasting mix. All procedures stay the same with EcoRAP as they would with any other recycled mixture.
Green Pavement
EcoRAP is comprised of 100% organic products; no air pollution or fossil fuel burning is required to heat the product during its manufacturing, transportation or placement!
100% RAP
Recycled mixes are generally restricted to a maximum content of about 50%, more commonly from 10% to about 25% of "RAP" due to a decrease in pavement performance as the RAP content is increased. With EcoRAP, 100% RAP is utilized, while providing for increased modulus compared to that of traditional asphalt mixtures.
