About ULTICOLOUR
How does ULTICOLOUR product brighter colours?
Asphalt is an incredibly versatile and durable material with a unique ability to accommodate movement without cracking.
However conventional asphalt is visually limited by the black bitumen binder. The only choice of colour is restricted to black, or red where an iron oxide pigment is added. The resulting colour is a muted dark burgundy colour.
ULTICOLOUR asphalts are different, they use a high quality clear Mexphalte C binder and bright colour pigments to produce vibrant colours. It also uses high quality colour matched aggregates to produce deeper colours that resist surface wear.
No two projects are exactly the same. By combining our unique experience in asphalts with our access to high quality aggregates we are able to supply coloured solutions that perfectly match client requirements.
Wider choice of colours
Available in a range of colours with a wide range of complementary aggregates, ULTICOLOUR offers an exceptional choice of colours and finishes.
Longer lasting colours
Matching pigments to high quality, coloured aggregates ensures consistent colours and a longer lasting finish that resists surface wear and keeps its appearance for longer.
Outstanding quality
Over 100 UK quarries give us access to a huge range of coloured aggregates and our specialist production plants allow exceptional quality control to ensure consistent colours and finishes.
Wide range of applications
ULTICOLOUR is available as a 6mm and 10mm size SMA surface course for a wide range of applications from play areas and pedestrian zones to highly trafficked bus lanes. It is also available as a porous asphalt to eliminate the problem of surface water.
Durable finish
When installed as an SMA, ULTICOLOUR has a tough durable finish, that resists damage from weathering, and normal trafficking to keep its distinctive colours and premium appearance for longer.
Enhanced safety
Coloured asphalt surfaces play an increasingly important role in road safety, offering improved visibility in high risk or low light environments. The monolithic surface of ULTICOLOUR also avoids trip hazards that can be experienced from block pavement movement.
