Vadodara-based Zydex Industries has developed a new technology in road construction that enables roads to resist cracking under heavy traffic loads and cyclic weather variations. The speciality chemicals company has been at the forefront of R&D and implementation of new technologies to build stronger and moisture-resistant roads with superior fatigue response.
Most of the road infrastructure is made of soil, sand, aggregates, bitumen, and cement wherein only bitumen is water resistant. This leads roads to deteriorate and lose strength with wet and dry cycles. Zydex has addressed this by increasing strength, improving flexibility (nano-polymers), and manufacturing super bonders for bitumen for flexible pavements.
