This update acknowledges the value of incorporating color in road surface seals, a practice AggreBind has championed globally for years. In fact, AggreBind patented the use of color in its Stabilizing agents and methods of use thereof Patent, including Australia was granted in 2013, and has long set the industry standard for integrating color into our long-string cross-linking copolymer road treatments, ensuring roads are both visually defined and structurally superior and can be painted with lane separation markings​.

The Future of Road Surface Sealing is Colored – and Available Today

AggreBind’s HiPower Seal is a high-performance surface sealer that not only protects road surfaces, but it also allows the use of colors – including black or custom shades to match the requirements outlined in the Austroads ATS 3465 specification​. Our patented technology and copolymer solutions allow color to be encapsulated within the hydrophobic matrix, preventing leaching or environmental damage while ensuring a long-lasting, and low maintenance surface​.

With this new specification, Australian road authorities and project managers now have clear guidelines for colored CST applications, reinforcing what AggreBind has been implementing on roads, pathways, cycle lanes, and critical infrastructure projects worldwide.
