Duralayer Multi ® / Duralayer Multi ®+

Duralayer Multi® is a close textured, single layer application which is suited to a variety of asphalt surfacing applications where a low textured and deformation resistant one layer treatment is required.

It was designed following a request from a Local Authority for a cost-effective,  single layer solution. It utilises locally-sourced aggregates and for a variety of applications including major roads, rural roads, housing estates, car, caravan parks and trench reinstatements. Duralayer Multi® can be used for a variety of applications. The material has a low surface texture and low air voids, which results in material that doesn’t segregate like traditional materials, therefore protecting lower layers from water ingress. 

Duralayer Multi® is available in 20mm, 14mm, 10mm and 6mm sizes and is laid using conventional paving equipment in line with BS 594987.

Duralayer Multi®+
As per Duralayer Multi® but also provides enhanced fuel resistance.

Layer thickness
Details of constituent quality and layer thickness shown below:

  • 6mm nominal size 30 – 60mm
  • 10mm nominal size 40 – 80mm
  • 14mm nominal size 50 – 100mm
  • 20mm nominal size 60 – 150mm

Benefits

The main advantages of Duralayer Multi® when used as a maintenance treatment, either as inlay or overlay or as a surface course for new construction, are:

  • Dense asphalt concrete grading, low voids
  • Prevents water ingress
  • Dense grading enhances fatigue resistance
  • Resistance to deformation
  • Sustainable product
  • Our Duralayer Multi®+ mix has fuel resisting properties
  • Low design void contents assists compliance with SROH requirements

Applications

  • All classifications of roads
  • Housing estates
  • Car and Caravan parks
  • Footpaths
  • Trenches
