How a cheap additive fiber can extend your asphalt life by 40%

TIRED OF ANNUAL ASPHALT PATCHES?

Q: Paint the picture of what Surface Tech is and how it works. 

Nick: Our product called ARCA is a Kevlar (aramid) fiber mixed into asphalt at the plant. It adds strength, durability, stops cracking and saves you a bunch of money by extending the life of your asphalt by 40%.

How did you first discover the Surface Tech product?

There is one competitor in the market, but we built a better form factor. Aramid has been around for a while, and we have millions of tons in the field with DOTs, counties, cities, airfields and private customers in the US, CA, UK, New Zealand, and Australia.  

How much additional cost to add Surface Tech to a typical paving job?

Adding Surface Tech's ARCA solutions to a typical paving job is cost-neutral when considering the total project budget. While the initial cost may increase asphalt mix design expenses by approximately 10%, this is offset by substantial long-term savings.

Break down those savings for us.

Extended Pavement Life: Surface Tech solutions extend pavement life by 40%, adding 4-5 years of durability. This reduces the need for frequent repairs or resurfacing.

Deferred Maintenance Costs: With a longer lifespan, maintenance schedules are deferred, resulting in approximately 30% savings in lifecycle costs. These savings more than compensate for the upfront investment in enhanced mix design.

What is the ROI, and how will it help our operations?

Extend the life of your asphalt by 40% and reduce operating maintenance costs by 30%. Essentially, if a normal asphalt job would last 9 years, this will take you to 13 years.
