Cellulose reinforcing fiber HiperCell

for roadsfor asphalt

HiperCell Cellulosic Fiber is a high performance cellulosic fiber that supports bitumen and increases stability in open and semi-open mixtures (such as SMA and porous asphalt). The bitumen percolation occurs as a problem during the stone mastic asphalt (SMA) applications because amount of bitumen is more. HiperCell Cellulosic Fiber blocks percolation and prevents desorption in the coating. It is also used for increasing mechanical strength of asphalt, reducing the peeling of bitumen from aggregate and adding other positive characteristics to the mixture. Product Description HiperCell is a high performance cellulosic fiber used in stone mastic asphalt (SMA) applications. The bitumen percolation occurs as a problem during the stone mastic asphalt (SMA) applications because amount of bitumen is more. HiperCell blocks percolation and prevents bleeding in the coating. It also helps to increase mechanical strength of asphalt. Percolation SMA design contains 30-40% more bitumen than standard asphalt application. During the time from the production and loading of bitumen in the asphalt mixture on truck to the time of spreading bitumen on the road, it starts to float down due to the effect of gravity, and the homogeneity of the asphalt mixture is disrupted. HyperCell protects the homogeneity of the asphalt mixture by preventing percolation. Bleeding The high amount of bitumen contained in SMA tends to float up to the surface (bleed) due to the pressure effect of the rollers. HyperCell protects the homogeneity of the asphalt mixture by preventing such bleeding.
