Asphalt Preservation
Rhinophalt®
Rhinophalt® is a unique asphalt preventative maintenance treatment which preserves, protects and extends the life of all asphalt infrastructure, delivering substantial cost, operational and environmental benefits.
Rhinophalt preserves asphalt by:
- Improving resistance to water ingress
- Improving resistance to weathering
- Improving aggregate cohesion
Used in the UK since 2000, with over 25 years of usage in the USA
Rhinophalt® penetrative asphalt preservative is a cold, spray applied extremely resilient binder material which penetrates into the top layer of the exposed bitumen in surfacing course materials to extend the life of the surface. The process is fast to apply and quick to cure. Rhinophalt can be used day or night where the surface temperature is 5ºC or rising.
