In addition to sustainable cellulose fibre the VIATOP+ range now includes a broad range of functional asphalt additives to modifiy asphalt and bitumen characteristics for carbon reduction, reuse and rejuvenation.
These topics will be explored and finally discussed with the attendees in a live Q&A session.
