Ecopave Australia™ GEO320™ Mastic Roller Hybrid™

GEO320™ (MRH™) Mastic Roller Hybrid™ asphalt bitumen for road paving construction is environmentally friendly and non-petroleum technology, the MRH bitumen is made from low molecular weight materials like Sugar and Molasses, vinesses, natural tree and gum resins, natural latex rubber and vegetable oils, palm oil waste, coconut waste, peanut oil waste, canola oil waste, potato, rice and wheat starches etc. Ecopave Australia™ is also currently researching the use of a dried sewerage effluent to produce GEO320 MRH bitumen, the dried effluent is currently used as a fertilizer around the world. GEO320 MRH bitumen can also be made from the vacuum tower bottoms (VTB) waste material derived from cleaning used motor oils (TFE and or WFE distillation bottoms residues). In other words Ecopave Australia™ is able to manufacture GEO320™ MRH™ biobitumen™ from water-soluble natural renewable resources (non-petrochemicals) as well as from "recycled" petrochemical materials.

The GEO320™ MRH™ Asphalt Bitumen prototype (MM™) Micro Mastic™ asphalt has been field tested in line road marking applications by RTA South Australia since 1996, and RTA New South Wales passing the AS4049 line marking Standards. Boral asphalt field trial since 2000 and ARRB Benchmark bitumen testing AS2008 in 2002. GEO320™ MRH™ has proven to have high durability, fatigue, solvent, cracking, rutting and skid resistance, has glass beads for reflecting light for road safety, it comes in dry granulated form no hot storage is required and is non fuming. GEO320™ MRH (MM™) Micro Mastic™ asphalt is compacted at low temperatures 90 deg C (Warm Mix) the aggregate mix in the (MM) can also be made from alternative rock sources eg, recycled crushed brick and concrete to help preserve our natural rock reserves. The inherently lighter asphalt surface of GEO320™ MRH™ Asphalt helps to reduce the "Heat Island Effect" by providing cooler road surfaces.
