FiberRoads® – SMAPOL® & FiberRoads®

SMAPOL® additive, thanks to its optimal absorption properties and low swelling of the main component – synthetic fiber, provides microstructural reinforcement of mineral-asphalt mixtures of all types, which allows to increase their long-term durability during the operation of road surfaces.

FiberRoads® - Long-lasting Road Surfaces.

Destruction of asphalt pavements is carried out in three stages:

Development of invisible damage microstructural;

The formation of microdefects (for example. for example, microcracks or micropores) and the development of damage Intra-structural, which can already can be assessed experimentally;

The development of macrodefects, which we can see with our own eyes on the Road surface in the form of cracks, potholes, aggregate defects, etc.

At the same time, the higher the level of micro-defect accumulation, the higher the probability of macro-defects in the asphalt pavement structure as a result of transport loads and climatic factors.

SMAPOL® provides microstructural reinforcement at the micro- and mesostructure levels of asphalt mixtures to increase strength and deformability. At the same time, the joint use of SMAPOL® with modified (highly modified) asphalts and rubber-modified asphalts to improve the long-term strength of asphalt pavements provides a significant synergistic effect, including an increase in the reliability and homogeneity of the properties of mixtures with and without asphalt destruct, both with and without the use of various types of “rejuvenators.”

The cost of using SMAPOL® given up to 1 year of road pavement life extension is minimal compared to other methods of modifying and reinforcing mineral-asphalt mixtures.

SMAPOL® can be used for both hot, warm, as well as cold asphalt mixtures, as well as for mineral-cement-emulsion (mineral-emulsion) mixtures and asphalt-cement concretes, for the lower and upper layers of asphalt pavements.

The implementation of the FiberRoads® concept contributes not only to improving the technical and economic performance of road pavements, but also to reducing the carbon footprint of their construction and operation process during their life cycle.

Optymalne właściwości technologiczne

Zapobiega spływności lepiszcza w mieszankach asfaltowych SMA i innych MMA o uziarnieniu nieciągłym.

Zwiększona odporność strukturalna

Zwiększa odporność na koleinowanie, wodoodporność i mrozoodporność oraz ogranicza prawdopodobieństwo pęknięć niskotemperaturowych i zmęczeniowych MMA wszystkich rodzajów.

Trwałość i opłacalność nawierzchni drogowych

Stosując SMAPOL® zamiast dodatków celulozowych możemy liczyć nie tylko na obniżenie kosztów bezpośrednich (koszt SMAPOL® na polskim rynku jest niższy od kosztu dodatków celulozowych o 1,6-1,75 razy), ale i na uzyskanie wymiernego rocznego efektu ekonomicznego poprzez przedłużenie trwałości nawierzchni drogowych o około 25-40 %

Mniejszy ślad węglowy nawierzchni drogowych

Poziom oddziaływania na środowisko wyliczony przez Potencjał Tworzenia Efektu Cieplarnianego (GWP, CO2e), zredukowany do szacowanej trwałości nawierzchni ułożonej z mieszanki asfaltowej SMA z dodatkiem SMAPOL® jest o 20-30% niższy niż dla nawierzchni ułożonej z mieszanki asfaltowej SMA z dodatkami celulozowymi.

Na 1 km drogi jednojezdniową z dwoma pasami ruchu wykorzystanie SMAPOL® zamiast dodatku celulozowego pozwoli zmniejszyć wskaźnik GWP (CO2e), zredukowany do 1 roku szacowanej trwałości nawierzchni asfaltowej, o 3-5 ton.
