Synthetic pigmentable binder
What is the product?
Synthetic pigmentable binders are non-bituminous binders to which pigments can be added, making it possible for the asphalt to be applied in different colours.
Product Applications
Asphalt pavement with synthetic pigmentable binder has multiple applications, including:
- safety (e.g. better visibility at intersections)
- aesthetic aspect
- integration of the asphalt colour into the surroundings
- lower road surface temperature thanks to lighter colour (greater reflection of sunlight)
- decreased power consumption in tunnels, for example, due to the brighter colour of the asphalt
What does Copro do?
