PRESERVING & REJUVENATING THE MIDWEST’S ASPHALT ROADS SINCE 1980
The Problem We Solve
Your road surfaces take a beating every day. The sun’s ultraviolet rays, harsh chemicals used to treat ice and snow, and the sheer weight of modern traffic all cause damage to the maltene fractions that hold your asphalt together. The science is clear: when asphalt loses its maltenes, the road surface becomes dry and brittle. This leads to raveling, pitting, cracks, potholes, and other signs of aging that compromise your pavement’s service life.
Asphalt Chemistry and DeteriorationOur Maltene-Based Solution
By applying our petroleum maltene-based products to your new or aged asphalt surfaces, we can preserve and rejuvenate your roads. This adds between 5 and 10 years to the life of your pavement per application—a fact proven through independent lab testing and decades of real-world performance.
Our products have been used on asphalt surfaces since the 1950s, with documented performance spanning more than half a century.

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.
James E. Condon, P.E., Highway Commissioner
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!
Carl Schoedel, County Engineer, Kane County Illinois (Retired)
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.

OUR APPROACH: COMPLETE PAVEMENT PRESERVATION
Unlike companies that offer quick fixes that just improve appearance, we address the root cause of asphalt deterioration. Our maltene-based rejuvenators actually penetrate deep into your pavement—up to one inch—to restore the chemical balance essential for long-term performance.
As engineers ourselves, we understand the technical challenges you face. We don’t just sell products; we provide solutions that help you extend pavement life and maximize your infrastructure investments.
Our Pavement PreservationWHO WE ARE
We’re Corrective Asphalt Materials, LLC, a Midwest-based company specializing in extending the life and durability of roads through asphalt preservation and rejuvenation services. Our company is led by civil engineers who understand the technical challenges you face every day.
Everyone at CAM—from our road crews to our business development representatives—has a deep technical understanding of asphalt pavements and our products. We speak your language because we’re engineers too.
A CAM crew can treat around 5 miles of road in a day, reopening to traffic approximately 30 minutes after spraying depending on the treatment type. This minimizes disruption to your community while maximizing the impact of your maintenance budget.
Meet Our TeamWHO WE SERVE
We work closely with public works directors and managers at cities, villages, counties and townships across the Midwest to preserve the region’s streets and roads. We also hold contracts with Departments of Transportation under highway maintenance programs.
Our team also serves private organizations, such as commercial campuses and homeowners’ associations, that manage privately owned parking lots and road systems. Our clients rely on us to help them develop effective pavement preservation strategies that extend road life, improve safety, and manage costs responsibly.
