VALOR, the solution revolutionizing new construction, full depth, and overlay applications. With unparalleled performance backed by data, VALOR leverages the power of aramid fibers. Our aramid polymer fibers enhance the asphalt’s tensile strength, minimizing cracking and improving overall resilience. Together, this innovation provides a formidable solution that enhances the longevity and structural integrity of asphalt surfaces. With VALOR, you can confidently tackle any project, knowing they have the ultimate solution to create robust, long life and low carbon pavements.
VALOR = Long life, low carbon pavement
