Cold asphalt – application and durability Road surfaces are made of various materials. Concrete is often used on high-speed routes, and properly compacted aggregates are also common. However, the largest group of materials used is mineral-asphalt mixtures. In their case, it is possible to use hot or cold laying. The latter option is particularly...

Additives for Asphalt – Types and Applications Asphalt, which is commonly used for building and hardening road surfaces and is the main component of asphalt concrete mixtures, is often modified to maximize its quality. The technical properties of the applied mixture largely determine the resistance to rutting, fatigue cracking, and...

Asphalt – what is it and what are its types? Asphalt is a universal material used in construction, which can occur in liquid or solid form. Additionally, asphalt has strong binding properties and can range in color from brown to black. This material is the main component of asphalt-concrete mixes commonly used for building asphalt […]

Cellulose fibers – properties and applications Technological development allows for more solid and durable construction. One of the discoveries in this field is cellulose fibers, which are used, among other things, as stabilizers in mineral-asphalt mixtures such as SMA (stone mastic asphalt) and PA (porous asphalt). Interestingly, they can be...
