Description

Powder pigment for production of red-colored asphalt, used in production of various types of asphalt mixes.

The production technology that uses this product, has been especially designed with the goal of incorporating it into the production cycle of cold, warm and hot asphalt mixes.

The pigment is a red iron oxide powder.  It is resistant to wear, color-rich and durable. The guaranteed long-term coloring attributes a bright appearance to the pavement and improves traffic safety in areas that are considered dangerous, by improving the visibility of the road surface.
