- Compared to standard asphalt, street noise is reduced by 8 dB at 50 km/h. Compared to
the latest ultra-quiet asphalt (OPA2), it is reduced by 3 dB.
(A 3 dB reduction corresponds to 50% less noise to the human ear.)
- Water-permeable, no aquaplaning and less splashed water, very little ice formation (less
salting during the winter).
- Temperature-resistant (-30 to +120 degrees Celsius).
Asphalt heats up, softens, and buckles.
- Higher tensile strength than concrete (at least 13.2 N/mm˛ for the base course; at least
12.3 N/mm˛ for the surface course); no lane groove formation over the long term.
- No frost damage since there is sufficient void volume to allow water to expand.
- Environmentally friendly, no leaching of hazardous substances.
- No special requirements for removal or demolition – water pollution class 0.
(Can be deposited in a landfill or water protection area without causing problems.)
- Asphalt has to be 100% recycled or disposed of at high cost -
- Cost savings:
- Reduction or elimination of storm sewers
- Elimination of municipal sealing charges
- Extremely durable:
- Very stable
- Resistant against acids and bases
- Easy to clean, can be repaired at low cost with no loss of quality
