Applications

B3Bond roads are cost-effective, environmentally friendly and stable. They can be constructed substantially faster than conventional roads, using simple road construction machinery with little or no external materials required. The polymer base provides versatility in both application and durability.

B3Bond can custom design solutions for time frame and strength limits for differing soil or base substances and variety of applications. Its ability to provide equal strength and flexibility in both soaked and dry conditions make it stand alone among its competitors.

The products have been designed to achieve high performance in the base, sub-base or capping layers and have been applied to a wide range of soil types, including clay, silt, sand and gravel materials.

Rural

Using in-situ material, rural roads have been constructed throughout Australia, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, with more rural road projects in development throughout the world. As no external materials are needed, rural roads can be constructed quickly with limited impact or disruption to the local community.

Once laid, the roads are able to be used immediately meaning local communities will have better access to markets and health facilities immediately. As B3Bond roads are able to withstand extreme and severe weather conditions, the roads will remain usable throughout each season, with little maintenance required.

Rural roads are constructed using ISB 4000.

Highways

B3Bond’s newest and most advanced product, ISB 8000, is polymerized bitumen created for use in the construction of high-quality freeways, highways and urban roads. ISB 8000 creates a very strong, flexible pavement that is easily reparable and is waterproof, protecting sub-base layers from deterioration.

As with all B3Bond products, the reduction in external materials required ensures roads can be constructed swiftly and for a lower cost than conventional road methods.

Road Repairs

B3Bond products can be used to maintain or repair B3Bond roads or conventional roads. In each situation, an ISB product mix is developed using in-situ materials.

MINOR REPAIRS

For simple repairs, a wheelbarrow and shovel are the only tools required. The B3Bond mixture placed in the pothole will bond with the surrounding road base forming a robust and reliable road repair.

REPLACING ASPHALT OR BITUMEN ROADS

For more extensive upgrades, including replacing bitumen and asphalt roads with B3Bond roads, a grader, water truck and roller will be required. The original road is ripped up and the broken road materials mixed with ISB products to create a B3Bond mix. This mix is graded and rolled, with the resulting road more robust and durable than the original.

Commercial

As well as roads, B3Bond products can be used in commercial applications wherever bitumen, concrete or asphalt is used traditionally. The unique dust suppressive, strength and environmentally friendly traits of the B3Bond products make them ideal for use by the following industries:

  • Mining and resources
  • Forestry
  • Civil construction
  • Rail
  • Poultry and pork industries

B3Bond products have been used commercially for the following applications:

  • Haulage roads
  • Tarmac
  • Hard stand areas
  • Soil and ground stabilisation
  • Dust suppression
  • Water repellant pavements
