View All SolutionsWHY MODERN ROADS FAIL FASTER
Modern oil refineries have gotten extremely efficient at extracting valuable compounds from crude oil. While that’s great for producing gasoline, it means the maltenes—the flexible compounds that keep asphalt soft and pliable—are being stripped out before they reach your roads.
THE RESULT? Your new pavement starts with up to 50% less maltene content than it needs. So you end up building roads with half the required materials—it looks fine initially, but it’s compromised from day one. Roads that should last 20-25 years are showing serious problems after just 5-10 years, and your maintenance budget can’t keep up.
We can’t change how modern asphalt is manufactured, but our Maltene Replacement Technology (MRT) addresses this fundamental chemical imbalance by restoring what’s missing instead of just patching the symptoms.
How MRT WorksTHE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR SOLUTIONS
We use maltene-based rejuvenation technology that addresses the root cause of asphalt deterioration, not just the symptoms. When asphalt ages, it loses essential maltene compounds that keep it flexible and durable. Our products penetrate deep into the pavement to restore these critical compounds, creating measurable improvements in asphalt flexibility and durability.
Independent laboratory testing confirms our treatments can reduce asphalt viscosity by 56-63% after just three months, with benefits lasting for years. Unlike surface treatments that only change appearance, our maltene-based rejuvenators actually extend pavement life by 5-10 years per application, saving you significant maintenance costs.
A comprehensive pavement condition inspection of your road inventory can reveal which roads need invasive maintenance and which are perfect for preservation. Precise application of CAM treatments based on condition assessments ensures optimal use of maintenance funds and maximizes pavement lifecycle performance.

Professional Affiliations
We began using rejuvenators from Corrective Asphalt Materials over ten years ago and the benefits have been tremendous. It takes several years to build a solid pavement management program and we are starting to see the results through our biannual pavement ratings. The partnership that we have with CAM is an important part of maintaining a good road network that our citizens expect. The CAM crews are always very good to work with and they take pride in what they do and we look forward to working with them each year.

The Village of Streamwood values and relies on the life extending pavement preservation products and services provided by Corrective Asphalt Materials, LLC over the last 15 plus years.
Village of Streamwood
Just a quick thanks to the CAM staff for providing us with a product that extends the life of our bituminous pavement at a very minimal cost when considered over the life of the pavement. And working with the staff in the bidding, purchasing and application has been a very pleasant experience. Very few resident complaints due to a good job of informing residents in the area of treatment and cleanup after. Keep up the good work.

Starting with a short (free) test section in 2009, Reclamite® has slowly grown into a significant regular component of our agency’s annual pavement maintenance program. Over the years, we have been guided by the science, our own results, and results from our sister agencies in the region. Everyone agrees that Reclamite® adds years of service to the pavement life cycle, with easy application and at a small fraction of the cost of traditional resurfacing. It’s a no-brainer!

CAM has been applying Reclamite to roadways in the communities that I serve since 2017 and we are now applying the second coat of Reclamite on roadways were originally sprayed 5-6 years ago. The Reclamite has slowed the asphalt pavement aging process and we could not be happier with the product and the “turn key services” that Rachel and Mike have provided to us over the years.
Steve Cieslica, P.E. Trotter & associates
Walworth County has been extremely satisfied with the services provided by Corrective Asphalt Materials. Their Reclamite product, and turnkey services, has proven to be a valuable tool in our pavement preservation strategy. The application process is efficient, with minimal disruption to the public, and we’ve seen clear improvements in road durability. Reclamite has helped us make efficient use of our budget while maintaining high-quality road conditions across the county. We highly recommend Corrective Asphalt Materials and Reclamite to others looking for a proactive approach to road maintenance.
Barry Pierce, Deputy County Highway Commissioner, Walworth county public works
Clinton County completed our first Reclamite pavement preservation project in June of 2024. The staff at Corrective Asphalt Materials were very helpful in the budgeting process and during the application process. The crew that did the application was very easy to work with, completed the work within budget ,and met all our expectations. The Reclamite is performing well, and we look forward to monitoring the road condition.
Todd Kinney, P.E., Clinton County Engineer
We have customers who have been using Reclamite and CRF for more than 30 years and who can legitimately say they are getting more pavement life. None of the newer products on the market have that kind of testing.
