With the RapsAsphalt innovation - a special roadmaintenance product and the first to use considerable quantities of rape-seed oil as the bonding agent - VIALIT has not only put an extremely high-performing surface treatment "on the road", but has also created a new source of income for the agricultural sector. From a technical point of view, RapsAsphalt also tages an important step towards the future of road construction. Besides the speedier drying process during application, RapsAsphalt guarantees earlier traffic stability and thus reduces road-blockage times. The rape-seed oil contained in the product makes the grit covering fuse more quickly with the base and thus reduces breaking-in times eben at lower temperatures-which extends the construction season.

• Integration of agriculture into road construction
  
• Longer lifespan
  
• Earlier traffic stability
  
• Lesser inclination to bleed
  
• Lower dependency on temperatures
  
• No harmful environmental effects
  
• Permanent reduction of greenhouse gases
  
• Low-cost maintenance measure
  
• Greater traffic safety
  
• Ten years of experience

The addition of rape-seed oil to bitumen emulsions has with RapsAsphalt not only created an entirely new type of road-maintenance product, it has also opened up many new applications for the agricultural and environment sectors.

• Partial substitution of bitumen through rape-seed oil
  
• Lesser reliance on the oil market
  
• Additional opportunities for the domestic agricultural sector
  
• Utilization of addditional areas of cultivation
  
• Reduction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through the use of agricultural raw  materials
