Extension of Asphalt Lifespan

Our company is the exclusive representative in Greece of the Dutch company Latexfalt for the application of Service Life Extension, which is described below and implemented in collaboration with us.

The Service Life Extension application can reduce the total cost of road maintenance by up to 50%!

The total maintenance cost for porous asphalt concrete includes:

Direct materials
Direct labor
Direct traffic measures
Travel time loss
Environmental costs

The aging of asphalt leads to a brittle binder and a weakening of the bonding bridges in the binder, and is caused by the loss of smaller components and the oxidation of molecules.

Causes of Asphalt Damage:

Loss of stones

  • Oxidation (O₂ / UV)
  • Abrasion (dust / air / water)
  • Fatigue

Top-down cracking

  • Failure due to fatigue
  • Degradation of binder properties

What the application does:

  • Improves gum elasticity through durable revitalization
  • Strengthens connective bridges through complementary materials

Materials used

Porous asphalt:

  • Modimuls ZV
  • Modiseal ZX

Non-porous asphalt:

  • Neomex Eco SE
  • Neomex Eco Color

Results:

  • Perfect surface impregnation
  • Good distribution of binder on the surface and in depth
  • Good adhesion
  • No hazardous or environmentally unfriendly ingredients
  • No impact on recycling or health & safety

How does the Modimuls ZV material work with porous asphalt?

Aged porous asphalt

Maintenance application

Sand coating

Cleaning

Compaction (with a road roller)

Spraying with the material

Application of sand for slip resistance

Extended lifespan: 5–7 years

Maintenance and Protection of Paved Surfaces

  • Sealing of roads, parking lots, plazas, and private driveways
    To protect asphalt from wear, water, and UV radiation.
  • Application of materials on large horizontal surfaces
    Where uniform and rapid coverage is required.
  • Maintenance of high-traffic surfaces
    Such as hazardous areas in outdoor spaces or parking lots with constant traffic.
  • Applications with various sealants and additive mixtures
    With or without sand for improved traction and finish, depending on the surface’s needs and the equipment we have available.

These applications are covered thanks to the capability of our equipment to combine spray or nozzle application in a single operation.

  1. A more comprehensive work solution

It can be applied using a spray gun, a nozzle, or a spray tip, allowing for precise coverage of various types of surfaces and materials without the need for different equipment.

  1. Control and precision in application

Spraying allows the operator to precisely control the amount of material, the pressure, and the application speed, reducing material waste and improving the quality of the final result.

  1. Even coverage and better traction

The trowel application ensures that the material is distributed evenly and fills in even the smallest surface irregularities, resulting in a more solid and durable finish.

  1. Increased efficiency and reduced labor costs

Using a single machine capable of performing multiple tasks reduces application time and labor costs compared to using different machines or manual methods.

  1. Suitable for professional contractors and large-scale projects

The design, capacity, and engine of our machine make it ideal for large areas and heavy-duty tasks, delivering consistent and reliable results.
