WHY ECOBOND

Ecobond is a unique proprietary modified bitumen emulsion which is used predominantly in road construction projects. Unlike other new competing products, this binding emulsion is environmental impact assessment compliant, and Internationally certified by Agrement SA at CSIR, COTO, SADCC, and SANRAL. It is rapidly gaining popularity on the African continent for the following reasons:

  • Costs up to 40% less than conventional road construction.
  • Low cost and durability allow for increased fiscal budget availability and economic growth.
  • Uses sound engineering principles. Design, test, construct and maintain roads using Ecobond per standard TG2/2014 and TMH/TRHs.
  • 20 year guarantee against base failure, and pothole and surface degradation. (T&Cs apply)
  • Greatly reduced construction depth from 750mm to an average of 250mm.
  • Flexibility and wet strength of Ecobond make it extremely durable to heavy tonnage vehicles.
  • Able to carry 50 million ES80 axles loads for over 20 years and remain in excellent condition. Ecobond can carry the load!
  • Preserves the environment by eliminating the use of cement and limestone.
  • Eliminates the need for the heating of any product, as it is a cold mix application that cures in 24 to 48 hours.
  • Considerably reduces construction time.
  • Water resistant (reduced permeability).
  • Elastic (increased tensile strength).
  • More Durable (increased crushing strength).
  • More temperature resistant (not temperature sensitive).
  • Improved tourism revenues by creating safer roads.
  • Reduced vehicle damage and accidents during shorter construction time.
  • Water conservation and substantial saving on water costs.
  • Rural and agricultural development.
  • Livestock water troughs. Farms yielding better quality crops.
  • Township development. More township roads than before on the same budget.
  • Legally compliant mining applications including dust suppression - increased profits to mines. (Hazardous waste storage)
  • Hydroponic growth tray lining, plantar basins.
  • Non toxic dam lining to avoid water loss.
  • Wooden and metal fence protection vegetation control.
  • Does not contain any hazardous chemicals. Safer and cleaner, paving the way for future generations.
  • Smaller carbon footprint
