Why<\/h6>\n

API?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n [vc_column_text css=””]We produce world-class, performance graded bitumen which incorporates polymer modifiers that add strength and durability to the life of any road. Our company is capable of producing other penetration grades of asphalt used in highway construction including 60\/70 and 180\/120. Additionally we manufacture a range of emulsions including CRS-1, CRS-2, CSS-1, and Cutback Asphalt such as RC 250 and other grades upon request.<\/p>\n

Our asphalt emulsions are used in a wide variety of surfaces and sub-surface applications, while remaining the most cost effective and environmentally safe approach to road paving and preventive maintenance. We are the only company in the region fully-equipped to manutacture, supply and test one of the highest grades of asphalt on the global market Polymer Modified Asphdlt (PMA) renowned for its superior flexibility and durability, and only otherwise available in the USA,Europe, and Canada.<\/p>\n

Using PMA is the best way forward to enhancing and evolving our local and regional essential infrastructure to build safe, strong, and environmentally compatible road and highway networks. All API products meet the highest international industry standards for asphalt materials defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). API Lab technicians are the only international Asphalt Institute certified technicians in the Caribbean.[\/vc_column_text]\n
