RAETEX modified asphalt binders are used for asphalt roads. They provide significantly improved engineering properties over conventional bitumen, and represent the most advanced research and development in bitumen modification technology and sustainable modification technology to date. They are used in demanding climatic and traffic conditions in order to extend the service life of the pavements by lowering the amount of permanent deformation (rutting), fatigue cracking and thermal cracking experienced on the road.

RAETEX offers three types of modified bitumen binders: polymer modified bitumen (PMB), Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB), and hybrid binders. The binders are formulated to meet the specific requirements of any roadwork project. In Qatar, RAETEX produces binders in accordance to Qatar Construction Specifications 2014 requirements for AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) performance grade PG76-10. This includes the recently introduced multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test traffic grades: Standard (S), Heavy (H), Very Heavy (V) and Extreme (E) that incorporate expected traffic volumes and traffic speeds as they relate to permanent deformation (rutting) at high pavement temperatures.

The RAETEX Ultra-Flex line of specialized coatings and surface preparation materials are known for the highest performance and durability in protective applications. Individually tailored, RAETEX Ultra-Flex products solve the toughest coating protection and waterproofing applications ranging from construction and industrial equipment to wastewater treatment and chemical containment.
