Alternative binder - Raw materials
Applications
As the demand for sustainable construction practices grows, the asphalt industry has been exploring alternatives to traditional petroleum-based bitumen. One such alternative is biobinder, a renewable and eco-friendly binder derived from organic materials.
Biobinders are produced from various biomass sources, such as agricultural waste, forestry residues, and other natural materials. These binders offer a promising solution to reduce the carbon footprint of asphalt production and contribute to a more sustainable infrastructure.
Biobinders provide a renewable alternative to conventional bitumen while maintaining or even enhancing the performance characteristics of asphalt. As the industry seeks to balance environmental concerns with the need for durable infrastructure, biobinders are becoming an increasingly important component in green construction practices.
On another hand, clear binder, also known as transparent or colorless binder, offers also a solution where traditional bitumen cannot. It allows for the creation of colored asphalt pavements enabling designers to use a wide range of pigments to create visually appealing surfaces. This is particularly important in urban design, decorative paving, and special applications where aesthetics are as crucial as functionality.
The composition of clear binder consists of:

The composition of clear binder consists of:
- Synthetic Resins: Clear binders often formulated from synthetic resins, such as hydrogenated or acrylics, which are inherently transparent and offer the desired properties of flexibility, durability, and weather resistance.
- Aromatic petroleum oils: To achieve the right formulation, aromatic oil should be added to reduce the viscosity of the final mixture. Thanks to its specific chemistry, it is compatible with every polymer.
APPLICATIONS:
- Road Construction: Biobinders are increasingly being used in road construction as a sustainable alternative to traditional bitumen to reduce carbon footprint of roads
- Urban Projects: In urban projects, biobinders are used to create sustainable infrastructure that meets the growing demand for green construction practices, especially in terms of colored mix to create safer pedestrian roads and cyclepaths.
- Parks and Public Spaces: In parks, plazas, and other public spaces, clear binder is used to create colorful and attractive pavement surfaces that enhance the overall aesthetic of the environment.
- Cycle Lanes and Pedestrian Paths: Colored asphalt made with clear binder is often used to differentiate cycle lanes and pedestrian paths from the main roadway, enhancing safety and usability.
