Confalt

Confalt – strong, flexible and joint free pavement

The time has passed where you had to choose between a concrete floor with high strength or the softer but joint less asphalt solution.

Confalt is a joint free wearing course / paving system, which combines the high strength from the cement based Confalt mortar with the flexibility from asphalt. This is achieved by placing an open graded asphalt with air voids of 25-30%, which is then filled with a high strength cement based Confalt mortar especially fabricated for this purpose. The mortar has a fast-setting time, which makes it possible to resume the use of industrial floors, roads, and other busy areas within 12-18 hours after application.

The Confalt mortar is shrinkage compensated to reduce the tendency to micro cracking in the surface and prevent cracking that could have a negative impact on the finished pavement.
Contec Group manufactures the binder for Confalt mortar in Denmark, and it is a proven and approved system in many countries, where our partners have a long experience on local solutions. It has a rougher surface structure than MonoConfalt.

High strength cement is the binder in Confalt

Confalt is based on use of a Contec cement based binder that offers control of setting time, shrinkage control and a very low content of water. In this way, Confalt mortar can achieve a density and strength of the binder that is more comparable to granite than to concrete.

Contec high strength binder is like microscopic ball bearings that fill the spaces between and lock the cement particles. By adding very low amount of water, shrinkage is minimized, and the surface gets a dense ceramic like character.
