Asphalt & Binder Division

Modified bitumen-rubber asphalt for serious infrastructure.

A fully integrated batching and binder operation — producing modified bituminous binder for high-performance road construction and rehabilitation across South Africa.

The Method

The wet-blend method, aligned with SABITA Manual 19.

We use the wet-blend process to chemically modify base bitumen with recycled crumb rubber — producing a continuous, highly elastic binder matrix engineered for South African road conditions.

The methodology is well established in the industry and codified by SABITA. Our advantage lies in the discipline of execution — temperature control, shear management, digestion and rheological QA — and in the fact that we control the upstream crumb supply ourselves, locking in consistency that tender-sourced binders cannot match.

Performance

Why bitumen-rubber outperforms conventional pen-grade asphalt.

Rutting & Fatigue Resistance

An elastic rubber matrix dramatically improves resistance to permanent deformation and fatigue cracking under heavy freight loads.

Thermal Resilience

Stiffer at peak summer temperatures, more flexible in winter — engineered for the full South African climatic envelope.

Quieter Pavements

Rubberised surfaces measurably reduce tyre-pavement noise versus conventional pen-grade asphalt.

Lower Lifecycle Cost

Extended service life and resistance to moisture stripping reduce reactive maintenance and total cost of ownership.

Vertical Integration

Tyres in. Premium asphalt out. One accountable partner.
