International Pilot Kazakhstan
International pilot under extreme conditions: temperatures from -40 °C to +60 °C. AsphaltX® proves itself outside Europe.
The project in detail.
In Kazakhstan, an international pilot is underway in which AsphaltX® is applied under extreme climate conditions: from -40 °C in winter to +60 °C road surface temperature in summer.
The pilot demonstrates that the aramid fibre reinforcement also measurably reduces rutting and cracking under these conditions — underlining the international ambition of Dutch Fiber Trading and our growing dealer network.
