Cold Asphalt Demonstration
On May 14, a technical demonstration for laying cold asphalt branded “Ratec” was held. The event took place in front of the "Raicommerce Construction" PLC building, located at 129 Dr. Petar Dertliev Blvd.
The event attracted significant interest, and many guests from the construction and water sectors gathered at the specially prepared site in front of the company despite the adverse weather conditions. Among the attendees were representatives from the Bulgarian Construction Chamber, the Bulgarian Water Association, and the Union of Water Supply and Sewerage Operators in Bulgaria.
The heavy rain and cool weather did not hinder the event, as the quality characteristics of "Ratec" cold asphalt allow it to be laid in any weather conditions. It is suitable for application at both low and high temperatures (from -29°C to +49°C). The professionals from the company demonstrated this during the event, showing that the product is extremely convenient to use. The process began with surface preparation and the pouring of the asphalt mix. Compaction was achieved using a small vibratory roller. The activities were completed in an extremely short time, and after the application of the asphalt, the surface was ready for use.
After the demonstration, the attendees received detailed information about the characteristics of "Ratec" cold asphalt. The product was developed in collaboration with the Canadian company McAsphalt Industries. It is suitable for repairing roads, paths, and parking lots. It can be used both for filling potholes and cracks, and for laying a complete road surface. One of its biggest advantages is that it offers the same operational warranty as a traditional hot asphalt mix.
