Asphalt Solutions
LafargeHolcim supplies high quality, innovative asphalts that use the latest processing technology. Our asphalt materials are designed to provide enhanced performance, and their standard of sustainable construction, a growing concern for all industry stakeholders, provides environmentally responsible solutions by making optimal use of recycled aggregates products (RAP).
Asphalt or “asphalt concrete” is most commonly used for road surfacing, base courses, parking lots, airfields, runways, etc. Asphalt consists of high quality aggregates mixed with a bitumen binder (or liquid asphalt). While consistency of aggregates is essential to the final results, the properties of bitumen allow for effective recycling, making asphalt concrete one of the most recycled materials.
LafargeHolcim has the experience and expertise in asphalt to meet the requirements of the most demanding projects and diverse applications. Our quality asphalt products are designed to optimize quality, performance, durability, and sustainability for paving and road applications.
In accordance with specifications and national regulations, we developed best practices and innovative tools to protect the environment and lower our asphalt concrete carbon footprint by:
- Maximizing the use of recycled asphalt (RAP),
- Expanding cold and warm asphalt technologies via various methods,
- Formulating optimizations for bitumen consumption, and
- Improving performance and rideability with our polymer modified bitumen (PmB).
