OLEXOBIT MAX

OLEXOBIT MAX incoporates all the performance benefits of the unique OLEXOBIT polymer modified technology pioneered by BP Bitumen.
Avoid cracks. Specify MAX. OLEXOBIT MAX.
OLEXOBIT® MAX is a polymer modified binder (PMB) that is designed for use in sprayed sealing applications to minimise the risk of reflection cracking on existing cracked surfaces where the cracks are active, or where the potential for cracking exists. It is also suitable for use in severe high stress seal applications.

APPLICATION

OLEXOBIT® MAX is recommended for use where typical field conditions include:
  • Cracked pavements with crack widths of > 2mm and rapid rate of crack movement
  • Frequent surfacing defects, such as patching
  • Heavy traffic loading (> 500 HV/lane/day)
  • Steep grades (> 5%)
  • Tight curves (< 50m radius)
  • Intersections, T-junctions and heavy traffic entrances involving severe degrees of braking, acceleration or turning motions

KEY BENEFITS

Performance Benefits
  • Excellent resistance to reflective cracking
  • Superior early life adhesion
  • Excellent long-term aggregate retention

Application Benefits
  • Can be safely applied at temperatures considered too low for alternative modified binders
  • Less loose stone during construction reduces the need to broom
  • Easy and safe to handle
  • Compatible with conventional spray equipment and cutters
  • Excellent storage and travel stability

SPECIFICATION

OLEXOBIT® MAX is manufactured to comply with Austroads AG:PT/T190 S15E grade.
