What is Wetfix AP17 (900kg IBC)
Wetfix AP17 is an advanced liquid additive developed for use in bituminous binders to significantly improve aggregate coating and adhesion. It is particularly effective in combating stripping caused by water ingress, a common issue in asphalt pavements exposed to wet or freeze-thaw conditions. The formulation enhances binder-aggregate bonding, ensuring longer-lasting road surfaces and reduced maintenance costs. Delivered in a 900kg intermediate bulk container (IBC), it is suitable for large-scale asphalt production environments, offering ease of handling and efficient dosing. Wetfix AP17 is compatible with a wide range of aggregates and bitumen types, making it a versatile solution for producers aiming to improve pavement performance and longevity.

Applications & Functionalities
Wetfix AP17 is primarily used in asphalt production to prevent moisture-induced damage and stripping. It works by modifying the surface chemistry of aggregates, allowing for improved adhesion with bitumen even in challenging environmental conditions. This ensures enhanced coating, better compaction, and increased resistance to water penetration. The product is commonly added directly to the bitumen during mixing and is effective at low dosage rates, making it both economical and efficient. Its use results in improved pavement durability, reduced pothole formation, and better long-term performance of road surfaces, particularly in high rainfall or humid regions.
Common applications include:
- Road construction
- Asphalt production
- Pavement maintenance
- Infrastructure projects
- Highways
- Airport runways.
