The current requirements in the construction drive to strike one balance between development and environment, and Composan meet these expectations every day offering a range of innovative, environmentally friendly and economic solutions for the environment, greatly beneficial to the structural assets of all segments of the construction. Rhinophalt, your new product is a material of low cost pavement preservation and fortified with Gilsonite, a good option to lower the high costs of the traditional obtained from bituminous pavement resurfacing and caring for the environment environment.

Rhinophalt prevents the deterioration and significantly lengthens the life of the asphalt layer, and compared to conventional methods, generating social, financial and environmental benefits including:

Reduction 90% interruptions in traffic on the road.
88% Reduced emissions of CO₂
50% Reduced maintenance costs: as composed of impregnated preservation becomes effectively part of material butiminoso avoiding any delamination problem.

Once applied, Rhinophalt slightly penetrate the treated surface impermeabilizando her, avoiding since that time that atmospheric agents such as water, ultraviolet rays, changes in temperature, etc., rusting asphaltic bitumen and consequent ageing occurs. In addition, as a second beneficial effect, Rhinophalt significantly slows evaporation of oils, resins and volatile products which confer their characteristics to the ligand.

State of the pavement of a parking lot before and after the implementation of Rhinophalt.

Every 5 years on the asphalt surface you can apply without affecting the resistance to slipping or the depth of the texture. It is indicated for surfaces of high traffic such as:

Roads and motorways
Aeropistas and taxiways
Car parks
Docks and ports
Platforms
Bike path
Pedestrian areas

To use Rhinophalt in any stage of the IEP (index of the State of the pavement) of the above-mentioned areas, manages to significantly reduce the costs of maintenance and repair, and also reduce emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere.

To decide when to implement Rhinophalt as a measure of maintenance, it is advisable to take into account the following terms:

The surface to be treated must be in good condition and not close to the end of its useful life.
When the pavement show not present or significant deterioration grooves.
When is the pavement not close to a SCRIM measurement.
Where the road occur structurally sound and does not require reconstruction.

Rhinophalt is presented in the form of emulsion - used in cold, and it can easily be applied on any surface aging butiminosa. Just have a conventional irrigation tank, or if you prefer a tanker prepared especially for the treatment and controlled by computer.
