Overview

This new type of multifunctional pavement combines the durability of Esmac (a stone mastic asphalt (SMA)) with the road surface functionality of drainage pavement. It was developed through research conducted jointly with the Civil Engineering Research Institute for Cold Regions of Japan.

Features

1. High durability: Superior flow resistance, abrasion resistance, and aggregate-scattering resistance.
2. Roadside environmental conservation: Reduces road traffic noise and helps prevent water from being splashed to the side.
3. Vehicular safety: Skid resistance is ensured during rainy weather and visibility is enhanced at night and during rainy weather.
4. Support for measures to deal with snow accumulation on road surfaces: Enhances the residual effect of antifreeze agents on road surfaces.

Uses

• Replacing drainage pavement for highways with heavy traffic and in snowy and cold regions
• Urban roads for which measures to reduce traffic noise and prevent water splashing are required
• Sloped roads and curved sections where slip resistance during rainy weather is required
• Highways in snowy and cold regions
