Coldraine
Safety in the rain
Coldraine is an open graded asphalt mix for roads bearing heavy traffic traveling at speed.
Thanks to Colas’s expertise and the Colflex modified binder, Coldraine’s draining properties offer maximum durability and perfect skid resistance even during traffic peaks.
Coldraine offers drivers safety and comfort in the rain. It provides good skid resistance, and by curbing the formation of a film of water on the road surface it also removes the risk of hydroplaning.
| Coldraine | Percolation speed (cm/s) |
| 0/6 mm | > 0.9 |
| 0/9 mm | < 1.2 |
Coldraine stops rainwater from spraying up to form a mist, thus improving visibility for drivers.
Coldraine is available in grain sizes 0/6 mm, 0/10 mm and even 0/14 mm to suit different purposes. It is used as a wearing course for all types of traffic.
Coldraine complies with the NF EN 13108-7 standard and NF P98-150-1 Annex C.
