Introduction

Jexim enables the production of longer-lasting asphalt faster and at lower cost. 


Problem

Polymer-Modified Asphalt (PMA), one of the most durable forms of pavement, is mandatory for high-performance roads used in highways, bridges, airports, and other critical infrastructure. However, existing production methods are costly, slow, and of questionable quality. 


Opportunity

Jexim’s patented portable asphalt additive can be transported without heating and mixed with low-quality binder to create PMA. This results in 30% lower material costs, 90% faster road production, and 1.5× longer pavement lifespan. The product can reach even the most remote locations in need of high-quality roads, at a cheaper price point.
