Long Description
This technology uses a special type of asphalt that contains capsules of a healing agent, such as a polymer or a bitumen-based material. When the road surface is damaged, the capsules are broken, releasing the healing agent, which then repairs the damage. This technology has the potential to reduce road maintenance costs and increase road safety by reducing the number of potholes and cracks on the road surface.
Potential Applications
