Plastic pipe systems are environmentally smart and unmatched at conserving natural resources. Strong, durable, flexible and proven, they require less energy to manufacture, transport and install than alternatives. Exceptional service life, superior corrosion and abrasion resistance, incomparable joint performance, and leak-free or watertight systems make them the best choice for truly sustainable underground infrastructure. The Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) is the major trade association representing all segments of the plastics piping industry. Learn more by visiting our website: www.plasticpipe.org.
Proseal Inc. and Reclamite: changing the pavement life cycle
Design-Build Storage Solutions with ClearSpan™ Fabric Structures
Proseal Inc. and Reclamite are changing the pavement life cycle as we know it. Reclamite contains selected maltene fractions in chemical balance that penetrate the surface of the asphalt pavement rebalancing the chemistry of the oxidized asphalt. Pavements in good profile, but exhibiting signs of aging, hairline cracking, raveling and pitting, will benefit from a Reclamite application. Reclamite also tightens new asphalt pavements that are open due to poor compaction and seals the surface. With branches in Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska, combined with specialty products like Reclamite, CRF Restorative Scrub Seal and PACAF Seal, Proseal Inc. is sure to have the right product for your road with today’s budgeting crisis. Call 1-877-650-9805 today for a pavement evaluation or visit us at www.proseal.us.
