Our clear vision is to develop sustainable material concepts and energy-efficient construction methods to make road construction environmentally friendly and future-proof.
Innovations & Patents
The Path to the 4th Dimension of Asphalt
For decades, Vialit has stood for innovative developments in asphalt and road construction. Our research department has launched numerous patents and new products that showcase our expertise and commitment to technological innovation.
-
Vialit RapsAsphalt:
By developing RapsAsphalt, we have replaced part of the fossil bitumen with renewable rapeseed oil. The result is an environmentally friendly and low-emission asphalt that meets the highest technical standards. -
REaktivAsphalt:
Dubbed the 4th dimension of asphalt, this innovative product is solvent-free, cold-applicable, and cures quickly and eco-efficiently. Whether for cold asphalt, joint and crack sealing, or structural waterproofing, REaktivAsphalt takes asphalt maintenance technology to the next level.
Our focus is on developing technologies that ensure optimal resource utilization while minimizing environmental impact. We replace solvent-based products with eco-friendly alternatives and use renewable raw materials in all our innovations.
