Road construction is a considerable factor in the infrastructure of any country. Consequently, requirements on the asphalt's durability, safety and economy rise continuously. In order to meet such high requirements, CFF - as manufacturer of asphalt modifiers - offers innovative solutions.

TECHNOCEL-cellulose fibers, TECHNOCEL 1004-G fibre granules, TOPCEL-fiber pellets and GENICEL-modifier are four high quality products offering our customers numerous application possibilities, especially when it comes to overcoming different climatic conditions and convincing by durability. Our products are easy to handle and apply, because they are added during the dry premix phase and disperse quickly and homogeneously in the mix.

Exchange of knowledge means progress! For this reason CFF pursues an intensive technology transfer with engineering offices and conducts own intensive Research. Apart from this, we have many years of experience in the manufacture and far reaching knowledge with regard to the application of our products in road construction projects all over the world. All this has made us experts in the field of road, water and dumping ground engineering.

Smooth operation of an airport requires an efficient infrastructure. Following criteria may be given as main requirements:

Of course, all above listed aspects must be fulfilled, but safety is a criteria that definitely cannot be done without. These high requirements also demand high performance products. With TECHNOCEL, TECHNOCEL 1004-G and TOPCEL you will always be on the right side, since both these products fulfill all the listed requirements. This is well proven by our products being applied on airports all over Europe.

The main challenge to a product being applied in the construction of waterproof linings, dams and dumping grounds is to secure the slopes demanded by this architecture. Extreme slopes are no problem to TECHNOCEL, TECHNOCEL 1004-G or TOPCEL stabilised asphalt.

Increasing traffic loads demand for economical solutions. Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) - stabilised with TECHNOCEL, TECHNOCEL 1004-G or TOPCEL - is just one example. The importance of SMA in road construction has risen increasingly over the past years, not only because of its high cost efficiency. The advantage is the extreme adjustment of the product to any climatic conditions. Its universal application is underlined by projects on all continents in the world.

Through modification of the asphalt with GENICEL SMA offers an additional protection against a considerable accident risk: grooves. They affect the driving behaviour, lead to water assemblies and promote the so called aquaplaning effect.

Recently, porous asphalts providing noise reducing effects as well driving safety have proven a success. This protective function is achieved by mixing asphalt with TECHNOCEL, TECHNOCEL 1004-G or TOPCEL.

Heavy braking as well as standing still of vehicles leads to additional load on the asphalt in intersection and bus stop areas. This often leads to grooves and aquaplaning effects. Therefore, e.g., road areas were especially stabilised with stone mastic asphalt, to which TECHNOCEL, TECHNOCEL 1004-G or TOPCEL was added. An asphalt modified with GENICEL is extremely resistant to deformation.

Racing circuits - such as, e.g. in the Formula 1 and for the Grand Prix - have increasingly become projects of prestige, that are subject to extremely high requirements. In this field CFF offers experience with regard to material design for maintenance as well as with regard to the extension of racing circuits. So, e.g., laying TOPCEL - SMA leads to long life improvement at extremely short service interruption.
