Reliable solution for achieving high-quality, long-lasting road surfaces.
WHAT IT IS
Emulsion bond coats are an essential part of building and maintaining roads, helping new asphalt layers bond properly to the surface underneath. Applied as a thin spray, the bitumen emulsion creates a strong connection between layers, reducing the risk of movement, cracking or early wear. This simple but important step helps roads last longer, perform better and stay safer for road users. Easy to apply and well suited to modern paving methods, emulsion bond coats are a reliable solution for achieving high-quality, long-lasting road surfaces.
They create a strong bond between existing surfaces and new asphalt layers, reducing the risk of slippage or delamination.
Better adhesion between layers helps prevent cracking and early surface failure.
Applied cold, which improves site safety and reduces energy use compared to hot binders.
The emulsion can be sprayed uniformly, ensuring consistent performance across the whole surface.
Helps protect the overall pavement structure, reducing the need for premature repairs.
Lower application temperatures mean reduced emissions and a smaller environmental impact.
