Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The Aashto LLC in collaboration with the sector’s researchers, and the Science and Technology Fund under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports, has been implementing the ‘Project on producing polymer bitumen suitable for Mongolia's climate’.


The project is aimed at increasing the quality, ageing and economic efficiency of the road through introduction of a technology for domestically producing polymer bitumen, a material used in making pavement. Under the project, innovative manufacturing technology for PG 64-46 polymer bitumen will be developed for each climate zone and the scientists will make science-based reports after studying a 200m test road throughout a year.
