HOW DOES ULTICOLOUR PRODUCE 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.
