Imagine a world where roads repair themselves, eliminating potholes, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring smoother, safer rides for everyone. That future is now a reality!
Basekim Refinery’s R&D team has developed a groundbreaking self-healing road paving material—an innovation that automatically mends cracks before they become major problems. This revolutionary asphalt uses advanced nanotechnology and smart chemical reactions to restore itself when exposed to heat or pressure, dramatically increasing road lifespan and reducing the need for costly repairs.
Why This Matters:
✅ Lower Maintenance Costs – Fewer repairs mean big savings for municipalities and infrastructure developers.
✅ Longer-Lasting Roads – Increased durability leads to roads that withstand extreme weather and heavy traffic.
✅ Eco-Friendly Innovation – Less frequent repaving reduces carbon emissions and material waste.
✅ Safer Highways – No more unexpected potholes and road damage that endanger drivers.

ToggleHow It Works
This innovative material is engineered with:
🔹 Microcapsules of Special Binders – When cracks form, these capsules break open and release healing agents that fill the gaps.
🔹 Nanotechnology-Based Asphalt Composition – Enhances flexibility, allowing roads to withstand heavy traffic and extreme weather.
🔹 Heat & Pressure Activation – The material self-repairs when exposed to vehicle pressure or heat from the sun, preventing further damage.
Key Benefits
✔ Reduces Maintenance Costs by up to 60% – Minimizes the need for frequent repairs, saving governments and contractors millions.Consider bitumen 60/70 is approx 400USD/MT and 7 % of all road is used such expensive binder.
✔ Extends Road Lifespan by 2X – Increases durability, allowing roads to last 25-30 years instead of the usual 10-15 years.
✔ Decreases Labor Requirements by 80% – Less frequent roadwork means fewer work crews and lower operational costs.
✔ Cuts Repair Time by 50% – Roads remain functional longer, reducing traffic disruptions and enhancing transportation efficiency.
✔ Environmentally Friendly – Fewer repaving projects lead to lower carbon emissions and reduced material waste.
With global infrastructure facing unprecedented challenges, smart roads are the future, and Basekim Refinery is leading the charge. Governments, contractors, and urban planners—now is the time to embrace a sustainable, cost-effective, and intelligent approach to road construction.
