Stop potholes from forming with Rhinophalt

ASI’s cost-effective Rhinophalt®  asphalt preservation treatment could double the asphalt road surface service life for half the cost compared to resurfacing, if two treatments are made in 10 years, keeping your roads that are in green or light amber condition in a better state for longer.

Your road, whether its a principal or minor carriageway, bus route or strategic motorway is a valuable asset, often with a design life of many years. However, the surface of that road will be degrading from the moment it is installed. Over time, the bitumen binder oxidises due to weathering and UV, leading to stone loss, ravelling and potholes which cause a danger to the users of your road and leave you open to potential insurance claims. If left unchecked, the binder course and base course can also be exposed leading to more serious problems.

Reactive maintenance such as patching and inlays are expensive, disruptive and often only provide a temporary solution before full resurfacing is required. Treating a road with Rhinophalt® when it is still in green or light amber condition, i.e. before defects start to become apparent is a great way to improve your road network, save you money and improve road user experience.

Rhinophalt® seals and preserves the surface of the road, reducing the rate of deterioration, reducing maintence costs, and extends road surface life. Because Rhinophalt® penetrates into the surface, no adjustments are needed to ironwork or kerb heights and there is surplus stone which could cause windscreen and stonechip damage. Rhinophalt® can be used on all asphalt surfaces, can have repeated applications, which can be slurried,/micro’d or surface dressed to extend life even further.

Rhinophalt® is an essential tool in highway asset management programmes, fitting alongside traditional treatments.
By preserving the asphalt surface with Rhinophalt® and protecting the pavement, making it last longer, is one of the most sustainable asphalt maintenance systems available. Extending the life of the surface course by up to 100% reduces the number of times you need to resurface as well as reduce reactive maintenance. Sustainability through preservation conserves the valuable mineral resources and fossil fuel binders.
