 • The problems are basically two-fold

• Construction Quality Affected by moisture and other

factors

• Using resources efficiently and sustainably

 • Water, which is otherwise a boon, can be extremely harmful to pavements. It
forces the asphalt binder to strip from the stone aggregate and leads to
distresses such as cracking, potholes, ravelling etc.

• It also compromises the dimensional stability of the pavement by entering

into soil bases and making the soil loose which can cause undulations.

• Apart from this, incorrect construction practices and injudicious use of

resources not just causes inconvenience to construction workers and
commuters both, but also results in pavements that need constant
rehabilitation which translates to wasted time, effort and money.

 • With awareness spreading about ruthless depletion of natural resources and
the deteriorating environment around us, the need of the hour is to be
innovative

• come up with solutions that not just ensure sustainability by way of high
quality and everlasting roads, but also ensure a nature friendly means of
execution.

• With economies growing increasingly aware of the use of sustainable road

construction, energy saving and proper resource allocation is turning out to
be a challenge.

 • By making use of nanotechnology, Zydex has come up with innovative
chemical agents that help induce changes on a Nano level

• effectively changing the properties of the pavement construction material.

This ensures higher strength and durability of pavements

• Zydex Road Solutions provides innovative Bitumen Additives that chemically

enhance the bonds between the asphalt binder and the aggregate while
also making the mix immune to water and the damages caused by it.

 • The warm mix asphalt solutions allows the contractor to reduce the
temperature of the asphalt mix and work at lower temperatures while giving
the same, or even better results than hot mix asphalt

• This warm mix asphalt solution by Zydex not just helps in saving energy and
fuel but also results in better working conditions.

• The cold mix asphalt solutions for surface dressings and bond coats is
profoundly dependable

 • Zydex also provides innovative Soil Stabilization and dust control solutions
that make the soil bases impermeable to water and reduce the expansivity
of the base, thus making it dimensionally stable

• The Nano acrylic co-polymer creates strong inter-particle bonds which when
coupled with the water resistant nature of the base, means an immensely
strong and self-strengthening base
