MinafortisCX (Highly water-resistant asphalt for airports)
MinafortisCX is a polymer-modified premix asphalt for airports.
Unlike conventional technologies, it has extremely high moisture resistance, which reduces damage caused by water and contributes to extending the life of the pavement.
Conventional technology: anchor effect, intermolecular forces, hydrogen bonds
When water penetrates, the aggregate-water bond becomes stronger, and the aggregate-asphalt bond peels off.
MinafortisCX: Forms a covalent bond with the aggregate surface
Forms a covalent bond with the aggregate surface, suppressing the separation of the aggregate and asphalt due to water
Strengthening the adhesion between aggregate and asphalt
Prevents stripping even when water gets into the mixture

Extending the lifespan of road pavement reduces the number of construction works and social losses such as traffic congestion
Product Features
Excellent moisture resistance
Unlike conventional moisture-resistant technologies that increase the strength and viscosity of asphalt, this technology improves moisture resistance by strengthening the bonds between the aggregate and asphalt.
Excellent rutting resistance
Compared to polymer modified asphalt type II, it has a higher softening point, toughness and tenacity, and is excellent in rutting resistance.
Suppresses rutting.
Excellent workability
This product has improved moisture resistance and rutting resistance, but also incorporates technology of polymer modified asphalt with improved workability, so it maintains the same workability as conventional products.
