Products: A new era® in asphalt

A new era® in asphalt

era® is our energy-reducing asphalt, which helps meet the sustainability targets of today’s road building projects.

Its innovative production process allows material to be produced at a lower temperature, reducing the carbon emissions associated with asphalt production by up to 50 per cent while enhancing durability and improving health and safety for contractors.

The reduced temperature of era® also allows faster completion of resurfacing works, minimising time on site and disruption for motorists. 

Both products in the range - era® 100 and era® 140 - can include recycled material in the mix and the asphalt itself is 100 per cent recyclable at end of life.
