Giving technical support to our customers, working alongside them to test and develop the products they need, and promoting good communication , collaboration and engagement– these are all essential elements in our culture of continuous improvement.
Sustainability through durability
Constant innovation helps us maintain our market leading position, but it also means we can develop more durable products that last longer. When we do that, we can help our customers improve their energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and operate more efficiently.
Our Azalt ECO2 and Syrelf ECO2 brands demonstrate this commitment to producing more sustainable bitumen products. Both can be mixed at temperatures 40°c lower than conventional products. This results in lower energy costs and less carbon emissions during manufacture, and it also means the asphalts cool faster so that roads can be opened sooner.
We have also developed a range of surface-dressing binders, including Emulsis. When applied at the correct intervention level it can effectively extend the life of the carriageway, improving its life cycle sustainability.
