Ecobond is a road consturction material that improves on existing road construction materials and has applications in many construction fields.

Eskom, Provincial and Local Authorities and private sector companies in SA. Ecobond is further expanding into several countries internationally e.g. Our headquarters are located near the CSIR in Pretoria in the Gauteng province of South Africa from where we serve Southern Africa and International clients. We have distribution agreements with several partners to supply Ecobond and training in SA and to the rest of the world and to deliver after sales service. Ecobond has been in use since 1996 and more than three thousand laboratory tests (University of Pretoria, CSIR, Accredited Laboratories) and field applications have proven conclusively that Ecobond works. Patents have been applied for and granted in many countries and improvements are actively being developed and further patents applied for. Roads are made from crushed rock and other weathered material, Ecobond makes these aggregates better. By improving the quality of your aggregate and increasing water resistance, your roads will last longer and require less maintenance. Ecobond is very versatile and can be used in most applications where hardened soil could be used. A road is built from the bottom up, layer by layer, each layer increasing in strength and is sealed using a bituminous or concrete surface. Ecobond is a system in which bitumen emulsion is combined with a resin thereby improving its engineering properties. It is used beneath the blacktop/bituminous seal to improve the bearing capacity of the base course and lower layers. Presently bitumen is plastic (visco-elastic) like soft putty or plasticine, it does not return to its original shape and a road will rut and deform under repeated loads. Ecobond also reduces temperature sensitivity of Bitumen. It is often water that breaks a road and Ecobond helps to keep the road layers dry. There are three conventional stabilizing materials with effective results, they are well researched and well documented: cement, lime and bitumen. Cement is brittle and needs several layers to prevent it cracking which takes time and costs money to construct. Lime needs clay for best results, not usually found in base courses. Bitumen is visco-elastic (permanently deformable) but becomes much better when used with Ecobond making it elastic and stronger. Partially Bound Ecobond stabilized aggregates (higher binder content and resin to bitumen ratio) are used as cemented base courses (e.g. Better roads can be constructed at standard costs or costs can be reduced by using less chemicals at the same or increased durability. The three year old adjacent conventional road had approx. Elasticity & tensile strength: Improves the elastic strength of bitumen emulsion (to counter visco-elastic behavior or permanent deformation) and can bend and return (can be adjusted through variation of binder content and resin to bitumen ratio). Workability with a wide variety of soils, even fine sand. This can often reduce material import costs and construction time. Adaptable to requirements: Ecobond can be applied as a non-continuously bound, partially bound or bound pavement layer, depending on the aggregate, binder content and ratio of resin to bitumen used.
