According to WPB, Mapei, Italy’s leading construction chemicals group, will present its latest bitumen-based and high-performance materials at Asphaltica World 2025, a major European event dedicated to road infrastructure, to be held in Bari at the Fiera del Levante on October 29–31, 2025.
The conference will bring together professionals from across the industry to discuss trends in technological innovation, environmental sustainability, and road safety.
At its exhibition stand, Mapei will showcase several bitumen-enhancing solutions designed to increase the durability and efficiency of road pavements.
These will include Polystrada SA PLUS, a pre-fabricated SAMI geocomposite membrane made of highly modified bitumen that improves asphalt strength and reduces cracking, and Mapegrout Drain Fill NV, a fluid high-strength mortar for semi-flexible pavements that enhances resilience under heavy traffic.
In waterproofing, Mapei will introduce the Purtop 400 M System Deck, a polyurea hybrid spray system developed to protect bituminous asphalt layers beneath bridges and road networks from water penetration and mechanical wear.
For sports and recreational surfaces, Mapecoat TNS Extreme SF and Mapecoat TNS Extreme will be featured — intensive-use coatings that offer high resistance, long-term color stability, and excellent adhesion to bituminous substrates.
Mapei will also participate in the technical sessions of the event, focusing on innovative reinforcement of bituminous layers, hybrid pavement systems such as Grouted Macadam, and other smart materials combining the flexibility of asphalt with the rigidity of concrete.
Through this participation, Mapei aims to reaffirm its commitment to research and development to create more sustainable, durable, and high-performance bituminous infrastructures that will support the future mobility of Italy and beyond.
