A Road Map to Success
Novapave’s Fibre Mastic Asphalt Technology ensures enhanced motorway for all
Novapave’s innovation enables thinner pavements, low level of derailment and reduce friction sound
Roads improve accessibility and stimulate economic and social development. For those reasons, road infrastructure is the most important of all public assets. Indeed, roads are the arteries through which the economy pulses.
The main issue affecting roads is damages caused by wear and tear, such as pavement cracks and potholes – causing them to be unsafe and creating circumstances under which traffic accidents are more likely to happen.
Present resurfacing technology is unable to accommodate the growing number of passenger and commercial vehicles as well as high traffic density.
FMA technology can reduce road-upgrading costs
Innovative Technology
Novapave Sdn Bhd is a company that manufactures and trades road-paving materials. Its Fibre Mastic Asphalt (FMA) technology is touted to reduce road-upgrading costs by 15 to 20%.
Novapave started in 2011 as a tech startup company focusing on manufacturing, design and promotion of new asphalt technology. Today, Novapave has several partners worldwide including South Korea, United Arab Emirates (UAE), India, Turkey and Kazakhstan.
Fibre Mastic Asphalt is a new asphalt pavement design, which utilises cellulose fibre additives Novacel as the performance enhancer.
The benefits of the additives in the asphalt mix is that it increases the structural performance, extends its lifespan and increases the surface grip which improves road safety.
The asphalt structure would get more performance without any additional cost during the construction which means zero increase in the entry cost.
Award-Winning Product
This innovation has garnered numerous prestigious international innovation awards.
Under this technology, the fibres are processed from biomass materials such as oil palm fronds, which are added to the mixture of asphalt (tar) to improve the strength and durability of pavements.
It also increases the good bond and seal between coarse aggregate and the bitumen. The differences between the roads built using this technology from those constructed the conventional way is in terms of the additional materials used, size of coarse aggregate and thickness of the road surface.
A higher percentage of the coarse aggregate of larger size (gross) used in road-building compared to conventional asphalt, will make the roads last longer.
This innovation can reduce friction sound, and with thinner pavement and low level of derailment, it makes the roads safer for all vehicles.
