OREANDA-NEWS. Lead experts of PU Bitumen (a TNK-BP unit) are taking part in the international specialized Polymer Asphalt Cement: Innovations in Construction exhibit. The conference is taking place on March 15-16 in Moscow with the assistance of Russia’s Ministry for Transportation and Federal Road Agency (Rosavtodor), reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

The exhibit attendants will see PU Bitumen’s innovative developments and unique materials used for road construction; in particular, the TNK Alfabit polymer asphalt cement products.

PE Bitumen actively engages in a project pursued by Rosavtodor and Ministry of Transport and Motor Roads of the Ryazan region where they test and compare different types of polymer asphalt cement for asphalt concrete mixtures. The test results will lay ground for making justified decisions on a more widespread usage of polymer asphalt cement for motor roads in Moscow and the Moscow region. The TNK Alfabit has been used to pave experimental road sections of the Moscow ring road and Simferopolskoe highway.

The TNK Alfabit polymer asphalt cement meets the best international standards, and has been tailor-made for our country with due account for its specific climate zones. The new product is highly durable and is just as easy to use as the traditional bitumen. “To use this innovative product, road engineers need to modify neither their process equipment, nor the processes”, said PU Bitumen Leader Andrey Chirkin.
