Title:

ECOFIX: Iron and Steel Slag Aggregate-Based Ready-to-Use Pothole Repair Mix

Value Proposition:

Techncology is developed to facilitate sustaianable waste utilization of steel industries waste i.e steel slag and to carry out instant repair of distressed road surfaces in terms of potholes and patch works. Techncology reduces reliance on perishable natural resources i.e natural aggregates thus provides an ecofriendly cost effcetive road mainatenace option to carry out  long lasting road works even in rainy seasons.

Summary Application:

Application areas  of ECOFIX Technology includes: Repair of potholes, patch works , resurfacing in small roads , bridge deck surface repair.

Advantages:

ECOFIX is a sustainable technology that offers several advantages over conventional pothole repair methods. Unlike traditional methods, ECOFIX does not require dewatering before application. The traditional pothole repairs require a tack coat for adhesion, but ECOFIX works without it, reducing repair time. nfact, roads repaired using ECOFIX can be opened immediately for vehicles, minimizing disruption. Also, the use of processed iron and steel slag aggregates ensures that the repaired surface lasts longer than conventional asphalt repairs.
