The Problem

Traditional pothole repair is expensive, slow, and wasteful.

⚠️
Hot Mix Requires a Plant

Conventional asphalt must be produced at high temperature and placed immediately — tying repairs to batch plant availability, weather windows, and minimum order quantities.

🌧️
Weather Shuts Down Repairs

Rain, frost, or low ambient temperatures halt traditional road repair. Patches fail within weeks when applied on wet surfaces — repeated call-backs drain budgets and credibility.

💨
High Carbon, High Cost

Heating asphalt to 160°C and transporting hot mix produces enormous CO₂ per tonne. Solvent-based cold patches emit VOCs and underperform — leading to rework and wasted material.

REPAIRED
Graphene-enhanced binder — BioRoad technology by Sacyr Único
Our Solution

Repair asphalt that performs like hot mix — applied cold.

Roadbourne's material uses a graphene-enriched, plant-based binder (BioRoad SB) that activates at ambient temperature. Open a bag, fill the pothole, compact — done. Works on wet surfaces, in freezing conditions, and stores for up to 3 years.

No plant, no heating — apply directly from the bag at any ambient temperature down to −20°C
Works on wet surfaces — graphene binder bonds through moisture where conventional asphalt fails
Lower carbon footprint — recycled plant-based oils, up to 50% bio-content, no solvent emissions
3-year shelf life — store at depot, deliver to site, use as needed — zero waste, zero urgency
How It Works

Three steps to a permanent repair.

No specialist equipment, no weather dependency. Any crew can do it in minutes.

01
Order & Deliver

Order Roadbourne repair asphalt in 25 kg bags. Stock your depot or delivery van. No perishability concerns — the material is stable for up to 3 years in closed packaging.

02
Prepare the Defect

Clear loose material from the pothole or crack. No drying required — the graphene binder works on damp or wet surfaces. Cut vertical edges on deeper defects for best adhesion.

03
Fill, Compact, Open

Pour material into the defect, compact with a vibrating plate, roller, or vehicle tyres. Traffic-ready immediately. No curing time, no wait, no return visits.

Why Roadbourne

Every advantage is measured, not assumed.

Superior adhesion — even on wet surfaces

The graphene binder creates an amphiphilic bond — it displaces water at the aggregate surface rather than competing with it. This is the decisive advantage over solvent-based cold patches, which fail when applied damp.

Repairs when others can't — freeze-thaw climates

Most cold patches fail below +5°C. Roadbourne material has been applied and compacted at −20°C in field trials. For road authorities facing winter backlogs, this eliminates the seasonal repair bottleneck entirely.

Stock it, use it when needed — 3-year shelf life

At 50% binder dose, the material remains workable for 36 months in sealed bags at ambient temperature. Road authorities can stock depots, councils can keep bags in vans, and retail distributors can hold inventory without refrigeration.

Lower carbon without greenwashing

The binder is ~50% bio-content from recycled vegetable oils and olive mill waste. No solvents, no VOC emissions, no heating. Independently certified by CEMOSA. We provide the data sheet — not a marketing claim.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know.

Standard cold-mix uses petroleum solvent to keep the bitumen workable — the solvent evaporates after application, leaving a porous, weak matrix. Roadbourne uses a graphene-enhanced plant-based binder that creates true adhesion to aggregate, delivering 98% impermeability versus roughly 60% for solvent cold patch. The result is a permanent repair, not a temporary fill.

Yes. The graphene binder remains workable down to −20°C — validated in field trials in northern Spain and Luxembourg during winter maintenance seasons. Unlike solvent cold patch (minimum +5°C) or hot mix (minimum +10°C air and surface temperature), Roadbourne eliminates the seasonal shutdown that plagues road authorities in cold climates.

No specialist equipment required. Pour the material into the defect, compact using a vibrating plate compactor, a roller, or even vehicle tyres. The repair is traffic-ready immediately. No primer coat, no tack coat, no heating equipment. A crew of two can complete dozens of pothole repairs in a standard shift using a van and a plate compactor.

With proper compaction, Roadbourne repairs are designed to be permanent — not temporary patches pending full resurfacing. The 98% impermeability prevents water ingress, and the graphene binder resists the shear and fatigue cycles that cause conventional patches to ravel and pop out. Independent trial data from motorway sections in Italy and Spain show performance comparable to hot-mix overlays.

Roadbourne works with regional distributors, road contractors, and local government supply agreements. We can supply bagged product (25 kg) ex-factory from our European production sites, or work with local partners on private-label arrangements for specific markets. Our franchise model allows partners to build a local road-repair business using Roadbourne technology with full technical and commercial support.

We are actively expanding. Current production is based in Europe (Italy + Spain) with distribution capability across Europe and active discussions for markets in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. If you are interested in a regional partnership or distribution agreement, use the contact form and we will respond within one business day.
