Benefits of Polyroad

| Physical Benefits | Environmental Benefits | Financial Benefits |

Physical benefits:

  • Suitable for a large variety of pavement rehabilitation conditions
  • Suitable for many different materials - pavement gravels and subgrade materials
  • Suitable with conventional stabilising equipment and rollers
  • Polyroad polymer is insoluble and has not degraded in the field to date (approximately 16 years)
  • Enhanced pavement material strength while remaining flexible
     - Not known to produce cracking
  • Maintains moisture equilibrium once compacted
    - Pavement strength maintained due to no wetting up of fines
    - Even if sprayed seal and/or AC has oxidised and cracked
  • Able to be carried out in cold weather
    - Does not involve chemical reaction
  • Can achieve compaction drier than normally practiced
  • Able to be tyned/remixed if initial compaction did not achieve specification
    - Re-compaction and final trimming not affected by time constraints
  • Polyroad PR11L, PR21L and PR100 are available in 20 kg bags, 1 and 1.5 tonne bags and bulk road tankers (including B-doubles)

Environmental Benefits:

  • Reduced demand on new pavement material resources and reduced haulage on existing road system
  • Recycling of industrial by-products
  • Reduced road user delays with a high production stabilising technique

Financial Benefits:

  • Highly cost effective binder relative to performance delivered to date
  • High salvage value
    - Easily recycled (can be readily remixed/reshaped)
    - Improves whole-of-life-cycle cost
  • No known maintenance costs to date (other than cyclic reseals)

No failures attributed to Polyroad to date (based on adequate pre-construction testing and competent construction).
