Weber launches weberep route black cold asphalt for the repair of bituminous soils

Always with a view to providing the best possible support to those involved in construction and public works, Weber has developed a new cold mix for repairing bituminous soils.

Technical solution dedicated to road operations but also to the renovation of garden or garage paths, weberep route is aimed as much at public works companies, communities and municipal technical services as at craftsmen, landscapers and individuals. Ready to use, in all seasons, promoting immediate return to service, its technical performance is combined with product characteristics and advantages that may be of interest to players who wish to commit to more responsible work: solvent-free, vegetable binder^[1], it includes 35% recycled aggregates in its composition and is also packaged in recycled buckets.

Performance and durability

Remember that an asphalt mix is a mixture of gravel, sand and bitumen binder, mainly used for road works. These can be subject to various disorders, such as wear related to road traffic, poor workmanship (lift capacity, thickness, inadequate wearing course, etc.) or even the climate (freeze/thaw cycle, temperature variations, UV rays). This results in small pathologies (cracks, wanes, plumage, alopecia areata, cracking, sweating) leading to the appearance of potholes: these are the cracks that the new Weber black cold mix will treat.

Ready to use, weberep road is poured directly into the area to be treated (after having dusted it and possibly removed any stagnant water). Solidified by compaction with rammer, vibrating plate or rammer (2 to 6 cm per compaction layer for a total thickness of approximately 14 cm), weberep road has the advantage of being immediately put back into circulation. As for its durability, it proves to be optimal since it is insensitive to freeze/thaw cycles and de-icing salts.

It should be noted that this new product is also complementary to Weber stamp sealing mortars (webercel mass / webercel trap+ / webercel trap). In fact, the weberep road asphalt can act as a finishing coat after sealing the hatch with mortar, for a perfectly homogeneous black asphalt finish with the rest of the road.

Finally, this new solution contributes to the pillar “Resources and Circularity” from the Weber Commitment range since it is made from vegetable binder and 35% recycled aggregates, and packaged in a 25 kg recycled bucket.
