Asphalt forms the backbone of global road networks but suffers from premature degradation due to load stress, extreme temperatures, and environmental exposure. Traditional asphalt formulations often require frequent repairs, leading to high maintenance costs and traffic disruptions. Argo’s graphene-enhanced asphalt represents a major leap forward in pavement engineering.

Key Advantages

  • Structural Reinforcement
    Graphene improves stiffness, elasticity, and load distribution, increasing structural stability by up to 70%.
  • Deformation Resistance
    Enhances rutting and fatigue resistance under repetitive traffic loads, particularly in hot climates.

  • Crack and Moisture Control
    Mitigates thermal cracking and water ingress, which are leading causes of pavement failure.

  • Lifecycle Extension
    Extends service life by reducing oxidation and aging of bitumen, resulting in fewer overlays and patchwork repairs.

  • Sustainability Benefits
    Lowers overall bitumen usage, cuts down raw material consumption, and reduces carbon footprint through longer maintenance intervals.

Applications

  • Urban highways and high-volume traffic corridors
  • Airport runways requiring high load resilience
  • Port terminals and heavy freight zones
  • Rural and remote infrastructure with limited maintenance access
  • Climate-vulnerable regions exposed to flooding, freeze-thaw, and extreme heat
