Asphalt, bitumen and resin mixtures

A range of red/ rustic coloured asphalt products based around BS EN close, dense and medium graded standard mixtures. The product can be used in any application appropriate to the standard mixture but particularly where differentiation of colour is deemed an important aspect such as for private drives, cycleways, pedestrian areas and residential roads.

There are three colour grades:

• Supercolour: Basic level of pigmentation.

• Supercolour Advanced: Increased level of pigmentation for deeper colour saturation.

• Supercolour Extra: Uses a complementary coloured aggregate for a longer lasting colour effect.

Applications:

• Residential roads.

• Cycleways.

• Car parks.

• Pedestrian areas.

Permeable asphalt which allows water to pass through to the underlying structure. The product comes in various sizes to suit a range of applications and can be combined with a wide range of other sustainable drainage products to offer the perfect Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) solution.

Features:

• Porous material allows surface water to drain.

• Developed for use as an asphalt porous surface and binder course component in a SUDS pavement.

• Inverted texture allows for high capacity acoustic absorption.

Applications:

• Commercial schemes.

• New housing developments.

• Retail parks.

• Car parks.

A highly compactable, very strong and durable asphalt, for use in very heavily loaded areas such as city centre road junctions, bus lanes and stations, ports and heavy industrial yards. Supreme is based on EME2 design principles but uses a polymer modified hard grade binder for enhanced performance.

Features:

• Highly compactable.

• Very high rut resistance.

• Polymer-modified binder with softening point above 90°C.

• Dense impermeable asphalt allowing early trafficking.

Applications:

• Bus stations, bus stops and bus lanes.

• Lorry parks and transport depots.

• Airfield hardstandings.

• Channelized roads.

Superlasting™ asphalt is a patented sustainable micro foamed mix process that provides the engineering performance of hot mix asphalt yet is produced and laid at reduced temperatures thereby extending the predicted service life.

Features:

• Enhanced durability and service life through reduced binder ageing.

• Achieves high stiffness earlier providing the opportunity for reduced construction times and therefore traffic congestion.

• 24% reduction in the carbon footprint.

• Equivalent stiffness and permanent deformation to hot mix asphalt.

• Good workability and compactability at reduced rolling temperatures.

• Laid with conventional surfacing equipment and laying techniques.

• Eliminates nuisance fumes.

• Produced to BS EN Standard mix.

• Can be manufactured as a base, binder or surface course and available with immediate effect.

• CE marked.

Applications:

Can be used for all infrastructure and commercial asphaltic concrete projects.

Award winning Superflex™ can be used in base or binder course layer and combines the properties of high fatigue resistance with excellent deformation resistance. It is suited for use in a wide variety of applications and particularly where cracking is a problem.

Features:

• Excellent crack resisting properties means Superflex is the ideal material when overlaying concrete.

• Excels in both deformation resistance and fatigue life over conventional mixtures.

• Allows early and temporary trafficking where site restrictions prevent the application of a surface course prior to the removal of traffic management.

• Impermeable, keeping out the unwanted action of trapped water.

• High fatigue resistance resulting in longevity and therefore reduced costs.

• Elastomeric polymer modified binders.

Applications:

• All highways applications from lightly trafficked residential to major heavily trafficked motorways.

• Commercial and industrial areas.

A range of distinctly coloured asphalts that use a translucent penetration grade, resinous hydrocarbon binder. The special binder is readily pigmented and provides a wide range of asphalt colours. Supercolour Ultra can be provided in a range of colours: red, green, yellow, white, blue etc. The intensity of colour can be varied by altering the amount of pigmentation; subtle colours to harmonize with site surroundings can be achieved. It should be noted that similar to most decorative architectural products, the colours and finish of Supercolour Ultra will alter over time due to weathering and wear. Supercolour Ultra is available in a range of sizes: 6, 10 and 14 mm to suit a range of thicknesses dependent on scheme requirements.

Features:

• Allows option of visual variety for road surfaces and public areas.

• Allows clients to enhance safety through colour-coded demarcation areas.

• With very light colours it can lead to a significant reduction in the energy required for lighting and improve visibility and safety.

Applications:

• Commercial schemes.

• Bus lanes.

• Domestic (driveways and garden).

• Prestige schemes.

• Urban and rural roads.

A ventilated soffit board.

A proprietary, porous decorative hard landscaping material which uses a clear synthetic binder, with relevant colour co-ordinated aggregate and pigments to produce a coloured surfacing product for a porous surfacing compliant with sustainable drainage system (SUDS). The material is produced tothe proven requirements for a conventional porous asphalt on a hot mix plant and is delivered hot to site in insulated vehicles for either hand or machine application.

Applications:

• Light vehicular car parks.
• Pedestrian pavements including footpaths.
• Cycle paths.
• Multi-use games areas (MUGAs) and similar installations.

NatraTex is not a resin bound or bonded product, it is an asphalt surface course. Similar characteristics of a conventional macadam; installed at the same depth and same sub layers (base and binder course).

NatraTex Cotswold is manufactured and supplied to surfacing contractors.

This results in a cost effective and multipurpose surfacing material which is perfect for highways, footpaths, cycleways, playgrounds or domestic use.

If you’re looking for coloured surfacing, then NatraTex manufactures and supplies durable, coloured asphalt surfaces for surfacing contractors in England and Wales. Our fully bound surfacing is highly durable and is extremely low maintenance.

By adding coloured pigment NatraTex Colour will provide a bold and lively colour scheme; giving you the option of coloured paving that would make a great addition to any decorative landscaping!

This results in a cost effective and multipurpose surfacing material which is perfect for highways, footpaths, cycleways, playgrounds or domestic use.

Superdrive® has been specifically designed for domestic drives to give an aesthetically pleasing finish whilst being tough enough to cope with the demands of wear and tear from shear forces exerted by the turning wheels of private vehicles. Bardon Superdrive is also available as a part of the Plus range (Bardon Superdrive Plus) to give additional properties such as fuel resistance and better hand-laying performance through use of a modified binder.

Can be pigmented in:

• Standard – Basic level of pigmentation.

• Advanced – Increased level of pigmentation for deeper colour saturation.

• Extra – Uses a complementary coloured aggregate for a longer lasting colour effect.

• 'Plus' range offers some fuel resisting properties, and improved laying workability.

Features:

• Aesthetically pleasing.

• Tough and durable.

• Highly resistant to scuffing and tearing from tight turning vehicles.

Applications:

• Domestic driveways.

• Commercial car parks.
