Building longer-lasting, safer roads starts with quality, reliable asphalt materials. Our portfolio of asphalt products offers an innovative solution at every pavement stage, from pre-preservation to full reconstruction, providing you with the right solution for your project, and your budget, every time.
Take a Proactive Approach with Pre-Preservation
A proactive approach to extending the life of pavements starts at the time of construction. Before paving even begins, pre-preservation products and techniques can ensure that your roadway is built on a strong foundation that sets it up for long-term success.
J-Band® is a Void Reducing Asphalt Membrane (VRAM) proven to dramatically reduce longitudinal joint deterioration. Applied during the paving process, J-Band® fills air voids at the longitudinal joint from the bottom up, decreasing pavement permeability to near zero.
This innovation protects joints and rumble strips from destructive air and water and is shown to have a 3-5x return on investment, maximizing road life and lowering lifecycle costs.

Keep Preservation Alive in Early Pavement Life
Early pavement life, particularly the first initial years, is ideal for preventative techniques that add years of protection to your pavements. Investing in early pavement preservation can lead to significant long-term cost savings by effectively delaying the need for future repairs, maintenance and repaving.
AMIGUARD™ Rapid Penetrating Emulsion (RPE) is applied on the surface and works by seeping into pavement to penetrate air voids and prevent water entry, extending road life. AMIGUARD™ Rapid Penetrating Emulsion Rejuvenator (RPE-R) is a bio-based, spray-on rejuvenator that offsets early life aging of asphalt pavement while sealing out water.
Hear what Dodge County had to say on using RPE for its road network:
AMISEAL™ products, including Crack Seal, Chip Seal, Fog Seal, Slurry Seal, Sandwich Seal, Scrub Seal, Cape Seal, and Micro Surfacing, slow deterioration, restore surface characteristics, and extend the service life of roads. Investing in pavement preservation with AMISEAL™ maximizes road quality while minimizing lifecycle costs.

Tackle Minor & Major Rehabilitation with Confidence
Minor and major pavement rehabilitation methods are essential for maintaining and extending the lifespan of roadways that present significant distresses. While minor rehabilitation focuses on emulsion applications that strengthen the base levels of asphalt pavement layers, major rehabilitation explores mix applications of binder and aggregates to improve durability.
AMIBOND™ emulsion products, such as Prime Coat, T-Bond Tack Coat, and Non-tracking Tack Coat, form a secure bond between asphalt pavement layers, preventing slippage and delamination. These high-quality emulsions and hot applied coats help your roads last longer.
AMIBIND™ mix applications include PG Binders, CM Binders, Warm Mix, and Polymer Modified Asphalt. Our laboratory designs, polymer modified or neat asphalt, meet DOT requirements, offering innovative and flexible solutions for paving projects. One example use-case of AMIBIND™ is Cold Constructed Asphalt Pavement® (CCAP), a chemically modified asphalt product that produces an improved form of cold mix asphalt and can be stockpiled for use throughout the year.

Save on Reconstruction with Sustainable Recycling Techniques
AMICYCLE™ engineered emulsions, such as Cold In- Place Recycling (CIR), Full Depth Reclamation (FDR), and Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR), are formulated specifically for each project based on agency needs and material specifications. Our recycling applications provide significant cost savings, lowered environmental impact, and precision engineering for stronger, safer, more sustainable roads.
