Continuous and Quick. Hot In-Place Recycling

Encore^® hot in-place recycling uses an innovative emulsion specially developed for the process. The emulsion includes rejuvenator oils for bringing the aged asphalt back to life and Stylink^® polymer modified asphalt for added adhesion, elasticity, temperature resistance and durability.

Hot in-place recycling is a continuous process performed with a self-contained train of equipment. With Encore, approximately 1 to 1½ inch of the existing pavement surface is heated, scarified, treated with rejuvenating emulsion, milled, mixed, replaced on the road with a vibratory screed and compacted. A surface course or treatment may be applied immediately after the recycling. Or, if it is a better fit for construction scheduling, the surface may be applied later. During hot in-place recycling, only the lane being recycled is closed, and it can be reopened quickly after the compaction is completed.

• Aged, distressed surfaces replaced with new surfaces
• Deformations leveled
• Surface cracking removed
• Crowns re-established
• Clearances and curb heights maintained
• Economically reuses existing materials
• Can, itself, be recycled
• Quick construction and immediate traffic return
• The Encore recycled pavement can be higher quality than the original
  • The rejuvenator oils restore the chemical composition of the oxidized, aged asphalt
  • The process completely coats the aggregate
  • The Stylink polymer modified asphalt improves durability, flexibility, adhesion, strength and resistance to temperature extremes, rutting and cracking
  • Encore mixes have shown 35 percent higher strengths than recycled mixes made with conventional, off-the-shelf emulsions
