A novel resin alternative has been used to repair roads in North Wales in the UK. The product, supplied by 2492 Ultracrete, has been used to provide a durable, high-strength ironwork reinstatement. The cement-based resin alternative material, Envirobed HA104, was tested by the 2312 North Wales Trunk Road Agency.

Resins have traditionally been the first choice for ironwork reinstatement, due to their high performance and rapid set times. However this new product is a revolutionary, next generation, environmentally friendly bedding mortar alternative to resin-based materials.

It is supplied as a two-component system which contains a blend of special cements, polymer-graded aggregates and recycled glass. The combined components provide a high performance mortar, which can be used for depths of 10-50mm in one pass.
