Specifications
Details

Product Description:

MR6, in compliance with JKR specifications, is a hot mix asphalt modified with a specific combination of polymers. This modification enhances the asphalt's performance, providing increased flexibility, rutting resistance, and fatigue life.

Key Features:

  • JKR Compliant: Meets relevant JKR Standard Specification for Road Works clauses.
  • Polymer Modification: Specific polymers are added to the bitumen.
  • Increased Flexibility: Improved ability to bend without cracking.
  • Rutting Resistance: Reduced deformation under load.
  • Extended Fatigue Life: Resists cracking from repeated traffic loads.

Ideal for:

  • High-stress pavement areas (intersections, bus stops).
  • Overlays on existing pavements (to resist cracking).
  • Roads with heavy traffic loads.
  • Specific applications determined by the relevant JKR specification clause.

Benefits:

  • Longer Pavement Life: Reduced cracking and rutting extends service life.  
  • Reduced Maintenance: Durable performance lowers maintenance costs.
  • Improved Safety: Enhanced skid resistance.
  • JKR Compliance: Meets JKR standards for polymer-modified asphalt.

Important Notes:

  • Always refer to the specific JKR specification clause for detailed requirements regarding the polymer mix.
  • Requires specialized laying and compaction.
  • Pricing typically per tonne.
