Green Pavement
The significance of the NaturalPAVE® XL Resin Pavement™ technology is clear when the environmental advantages are factored in: no air pollution or fossil fuel burning required to heat the product during manufacturing, transportation, storage, mixing or placement; no carcinogenic air emissions to endanger worker health; and no toxic components to contaminate water supplies. SSPCo’s clean pavement technology answers these concerns. Additionally, these light colored solar reflective pavements provide a cool alternative to black asphalt and its deleterious contributions to the Urban Heat Island Effect, smog formation, greenhouse gas emission and global warming. Public interest in environmentally responsible design and construction continues to motivate increased awareness and implementation of green construction technology. The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and its LEED® program (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), a Green Building Rating System, has provided a vitally important standard format for agency personnel and design consultants who specify the materials for new construction and remodeling projects. Many facilities are now being constructed according to these standards. The LEED rating system has set the bar high and NaturalPAVE XL Resin Pavement is ideally suited for green building pavement requirements.
Cool Pavement
When different pavements are tested with infrared thermometers to evaluate their comparative surface temperatures, NaturalPAVE XL Resin Pavement typically tests similar in temperature to light colored concrete, while adjacent asphalt pavements are far hotter. This temperature difference is a health and comfort issue adjacent to residential areas, offices, theme parks, schools, and other public facilities. Heat absorbent asphalt pavements are gaining increasing notoriety for their contribution to Urban Heat Island problems, increased air conditioning and energy demand, increased smog formation, greenhouse gas emission and global warming.

With body temperature in the range of 98.6째F, human health and comfort are noticeably affected as temperatures increase above 100째F. Given the news that
hotter summer weather conditions are to be expected in the future, proven cool pavement is going to become increasingly attractive around our living environments.
