Revolutionize Road Durability and minimize Carbon Footprint with
GenableTM Pavement is a family of patent-pending products that stands out as a pioneer in sustainable infrastructure development. This ground-breaking product is born from the fusion of UMI’s polyhedral graphene, forging a path toward eco-friendly road development and a circular economy, as the asphalt pavement can be readily recycled.

Bitumen enhancement for Asphalt Paving
polymer modified bitumen improves quality in asphalt mixtures
Product - Features:
- Graphene-enabled Polymer Asphalt Modifier
- Patent pending formulation based on a graphene polymer composite
- GenableTM Pavement is intended to replace SBS and offers superior performance to SBS.
- Mixed at standard conditions at the asphalt plant (dry addition).
- Wet addition with stabilizer allows comparable performance at lower dosage and is tank storage stable.
- NCAT test data: Outperforms other polymeric modifiers such as SBS, rubber crumb and plastics.
Key Benefits
- 3.0%* GenableTM Pavement(dry addition) improves asphalt performance equivalent to SBS-polymer modified asphalt PG rating of 2 “bumps” or 12ºC without losing low-end temperature rating
- NCAT and additional 3rd party validation suggests:
- Reduced rutting, fatigue cracking and fatigue resistance
- Projected to extend the life of the road over SBS modified asphalt
- Reduced equivalent thickness over other polymer additives including SBS
- Opportunity to increase % RAP
Expected improvement in emissions and sustainability: extended pavement life
Opportunity for significant cost savings (material and life cycle cost)
* 3.0% by weight of total asphalt cement content
included in new National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) Test Track build
NCAT Test Track Facts (Sep 2024)
- 309-acre site
- 1.7 mile oval
- (46) 200ft test sections to conduct experimental asphalt pavements
- Performance monitored on a continuous basis to evaluate rutting, fatigue cracking, roughness, texture, friction, and noise
- Equivalent to 10M ESALs of traffic over a course of 2 years
- NCAT has recently accepted GenableTM Pavement on the Test Track based on the Phase 1 testing (May 2024)
- Paving of section with dry process method to take place in Fall 2024
- Monitoring of test section from Fall 2024 to Spring 2026
- Will help solidify GenableTM Pavement’s position as a superior asphalt modifier and gain acceptance amongst DOTs, municipalities, and contractors
