We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Asphalt", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Key Floors celebrate in style with Arditex from Ardex UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ardex's multi-award winning Arditex universal latex-based sub-floor smoothing compound for recent school hall refurbishment project in Basingstoke". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release CET Safehouse wins best supplier award from CET Safehouse: "Materials testing specialist CET Safehouse has won a Best Supplier Award from construction sector giant Aggregate Industries".
 
In December 2007, we covered the news from Tremco illbruck concerning its Waterproof mechanical movement joints - take a look at Hospital car park constructed with Compriband which says: "Belfast City Hospital design team called expertise of Tremco illbruck to provide high performance, waterproof mechanical movement joints to accommodate thermal stress in the hybrid structure".
 
Take a look also at the news release from ECO Heat Pump, Schools use renewable energy from heat pumps, as well as Paving the way with Zwick new asphalt tester from Zwick Testing Machines, and Bauclad transforms Luton skyline from CEP Claddings.
