Zydex Nanotechnology for Pothole – Free India

Zydex, an innovation-driven organization from Vadodara, Gujarat, has come up with a Nanotechnology that provides a complete solution to build moisture-resistant, long-lasting roads.

Zydex Nanotechnology is patented across the globe and is on its way to revolutionize the very way in which the roads are designed and built today - globally.

Zydex Nanotechnology was recognized and awarded by International Road Federation (IRF) in the form of their IRF Global Road Achievement Award (GRAA) for 2013, in the research category.

Dr Ajay Ranka, CEO, Zydex Industries was felicitated with an award at the IRF Global Conference recently held in Riyadh. Highway Agency Directors, dignitaries and top-notch road professionals from across the world were also present on the occasion.

Zydex Nanotechnology in a nutshell

Ingress of water in the rainy season weakens the road soil bases, de-bonds the Prime and Tack coats and destroys the bituminous layers causing undulations and potholes affecting ride-quality and motorability.

Moisture is the well-known enemy of roads. The present technology for road-making provides very limited protection against moisture and that is the reason most roads go bad during the monsoon.

The Zydex Nanotechnology is all about waterproofing soil bases, and chemical bonding of bitumen to aggregates, sand, clay etc, and eliminating moisture related damages.

Zydex Nanotechnology: Key Features

a. Zydex Nanotechnology additives allow moisture proofing of soil layers and reduce moisture permeability by 500 1000 times. They strengthen the soil by increasing the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of soil, reduce expansiveness by 90% and eliminate undulations and cracking. b. Nanotechnology based additives make Bond Coats (Prime &Tack) 100% waterproofed, allowing 100% stress transfer and saving bitumen by achieving chemical bonding. c. The global award winning technology enables chemical bonding of bitumen with aggregates and eliminates moisture damage to bituminous layers. Benefits: - Zydex nanotechnologies are cost neutral at CAPEX and improve durability of the road to reduce life cycle cost by 50 % or more. This Nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize the urban and rural India, just as mobile telephony did.
