EME2 is a high-modulus asphalt engineered for stronger, thinner, and longer-lasting pavements. It offers superior rut resistance and significantly extends pavement lifespan, making it the optimal choice for high-stress environments. Bringing this cutting-edge product to Kiwi roads, Road Science is the only local manufacture of EME2 bitumen, that supports structural asphalt mixes.
Developed in France over 30 years ago, EME2 is designed for heavy-duty pavements, especially on high-traffic roads and complex stress areas like roundabouts. Unlike standard asphalt, which relies on aggregate interlock for rut resistance, EME2 uses a hard bitumen grade (15/25 pen) for enhanced stiffness and durability, making it ideal for demanding pavements. EME2 outperforms traditional mixes, delivering unmatched strength and longevity in the toughest conditions.
