Macrotexture (MaTx) - from 0.5 mm up to 50 mm - to evacuate surface waters of the contact area of the pneumatic tire, particularly at high speed, and to avoid the risks of aquaplaning.
Microtexture (MiTx) - sizes below 0.5 mm - to break free water film and to offer the greatest “dry” contact possible between the rubber of the pneumatic tire and the road surface.
The friction and heat generated by the plane landing crystallize this deposit of rubber and transform it into a
very hard layer of at least 328 yards (300 metres) length.
Like many revolutionary inventions, shots-blasting is based on a
simple principle:
The shots are projected at fast speed on the pavement by the turbine. After having struck the pavement, the shots rebound off of the pavement towards the channel of bounce. This last one is sends the shots in a separator. Dust and other contaminants are sorted out from shots so that there remain only the shots which can be re-used by the turbine. Dust going in the vacuum cleaner.
Key Benefits
By adjusting the use of shots-blasting, to regenerate the pneumatic tire skid resistance of a pavement, you preserve a plain well and prolong the lifespan. This technique is without common measure with other solutions, the most economical process of the market today compared to Ultra Thin Bituminous Concrete, Very Thin Bituminous Concrete, and cold coating.
