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
