Fortivene® in Bitumen & Hot Asphalt

Revolutionizing Asphalt Infrastructure with Fortivene®

Fortivene® is a scientifically engineered graphene composite that transforms the performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA). By enhancing the bitumen matrix with our pristine graphene technology, municipalities and contractors can now achieve unparalleled strength, elasticity, and thermal stability in their pavement solutions.

Our proprietary formula works at the molecular level to:

• Improve adhesion between aggregates and binder via π-π stacking and electrostatic charge distribution.
• Increase resistance to rutting and fatigue under dynamic load and high shear mixing conditions.
• Enable polymer swelling with improved absorption and dispersion of aromatic oils in SBS/EVA blends.
• Facilitate better thermal conductivity, reducing heat-induced cracking and surface oxidation.
• Serve as a stabilizing nanomaterial, eliminating the need for high dosages of synthetic additives or plasticizers.

With Fortivene®, cities can extend pavement life by up to 40%, reduce maintenance cycles, and significantly lower overall carbon footprint due to fewer repavings and material waste. In addition, the ability to reduce VOC emissions makes it an environmentally safer choice during application.

Field tests confirm that Fortivene® enhances tensile strength, resilient modulus, and binder elasticity without sacrificing workability. It's compatible with PG-graded binders, Superpave mix designs, and can be deployed in both warm mix and hot mix scenarios.
