Renfovia is a high modulus asphalt for base and binder courses. It can be used to build
and reinforce pavements subject to all types of traffic. Developed by Eurovia, it extends
pavement service life.
With its excellent mechanical performance, Renfovia is particularly suitable for
pavements subject to rutting and for port and airport infrastructure.

HIGH STRENGTH ASPHALT MIX
Renfovia is a high modulus asphalt for base and binder courses. It can be used to build
and reinforce pavements subject to all types of traffic. Developed by Eurovia, it extends
pavement service life.
With its excellent mechanical performance, Renfovia is particularly suitable for
pavements subject to rutting and for port and airport infrastructure.
By reducing the thickness of structures it also makes a substantial contribution to the
conservation of natural resources.

3. A pavement structure must support automobile traffic
under the best possible conditions while distributing
loadings in such a way as to enable the pavement to
withstand these mechanical forces without damage.
High performance base courses are therefore needed
in the construction of infrastructure subject to heavy
intensive traffic.
Renfovia is a high modulus asphalt for base and binder
courses. The binder used and the formulation of this
mix lend it excellent stiffness and high elongation
capacity under repeated loadings.
The grading is usually 0/14mm and in some cases 0/10
or 0/20mm. Depending on the grading, thicknesses
laid are 60 to 150mm per layer. The mix must then
be overlaid with a surfacing designed to achieve the
desired surface characteristics: Microvia®
, Rugovia®
,
Viaphone®
, Drainovia, etc.
Renfovia is produced and applied with conventional
roadworks equipment.

savings
Renfovia substantially reduces
thickness requirements and thus
generates considerable savings of
aggregates, binder, transport and
related works. The duration of works
is shortened. Renfovia is suitable for
pavements exposed to permanent
deformation and rutting in both urban
and rural areas.
New construction: as an upper or
lower base course over untreated or
stabilised sub-base, Renfovia generates
substantial savings of aggregates and
bitumen and thus makes a substantial
contribution to conservation of natural
resources.
Reinforcement: Renfovia offers high
reinforcement capability, which can
lengthen the service life of pavements
subjected to fatigue by means of a thin
layer of materials.
Reconstruction: with Renfovia, the
depth of excavation can be limited, an
especially beneficial advantage in urban
areas.

PURE ET simple
QUALITy
Renfovia meets the requirements of the
EN 13108-1 Bituminous mixes standard. It is listed
in Class 2, the highest-performance high modulus
asphalt category. It uses a pure 10/20 or 15/25
bitumen.
Renfovia offers properties that differ from those
of conventional hydrocarbon mixes for base and
binder courses:
a complex modulus close to that of an cement-
bound aggregates,
ultimate elongation under repeated loadings
greater than that of an asphaltic concrete and
three times that of an aggregate treated with
hydraulic binder,
excellent resistance to permanent deformation.
The aggregates used in the Renfovia formulation
are chosen in accordance with the EN13043
Aggregates for bituminous mixes standard and
fulfil the requirements of the EN13108-1 standard.
Renfovia uses a binder and a special formulation
that make it possible, subject to certain
conditions, to employ local materials.
As a proven option, RAP can be used in the
Renfovia formula.
