WETFIX BE
Wetfix BE is an antistripping agent used as an adhesion promoter for hot, warm, and cold-mix asphalt. It is widely used in the construction industry for road construction as an adhesion promoter used in asphalt mixtures and spray applications.
Bituminous Wetfix is ideal for strong adhesion between aggregates and bitumen even in wet conditions. It helps to reduce water damage and cracks and improves overall road performance and durability. Wetfix BE is employed as a coating aid for foamed asphalt mix as it is considered a concentrated product with low dosage requirements.
Petra Oil’s Wetfix BE enables structures to withstand environmental stresses while providing reliable support and stability contributing to the longevity and effectiveness of construction projects.

PROPERTIES
- Composition: Wetfix BE (Megamine) are formulated with bitumen, known for its highly adhesive and waterproofing capabilities. This composition helps for excellent bonding between aggregates and bitumen, making them ideal for numerous applications.
- Elasticity and Flexibility: Wetfix BE possess excellent elasticity, allowing them to accommodate movement and stress in structures. This property is crucial for maintaining integrity in fluctuating environmental conditions.
- Resistance to Water: The waterproof nature of Wetfix BE provides exceptional protection against moisture infiltration, which is essential in preventing structural damage and prolonging the lifespan of materials.
- Temperature Resistance: Wetfix BE typically exhibits good temperature resistance, maintaining its properties under varying heat and cold conditions, which is vital for applications exposed to extreme temperatures.
APPLICATIONS OF BITUMINOUS WETFIX
- Road Construction and Maintenance: In road construction, Wetfix BE is used in asphalt formulations, enhancing the durability and longevity of pavements. Its waterproofing properties prevent damage from moisture-related issues.
- Roofing Systems: Wetfix BE (Megamine) can be applied in the construction of roofs to provide effective waterproofing and protection against UV and environmental factors. Its bituminous nature makes it ideal for membrane applications that require a high degree of flexibility.
- Waterproofing: Wetfix BE serves as an effective waterproofing agent for foundations, basements, and retaining walls, ensuring that structures remain dry and protected from water damage.
- Sealants and Adhesives: In addition to the primary applications, Wetfix BE products can be used as sealants and adhesives in various construction and repair projects, providing strong bonding and sealing capabilities.
- Environmental Protection: Wetfix BE application in environmental management includes erosion control and stabilization of soils, especially in areas prone to water runoff and soil degradation.
