Gazprom Neft's bitumen products have started being used in the construction and maintenance of Germany's motorway network. Following testing at specialist laboratories, together with pilot testing on motorways in the Federal Republic of Germany, Gazprom Neft bitumen materials have now been certified as compliant with European Union and German national standards - the latter having higher quality requirements for bitumen binders.*, **
[Link]Specialists at Gazprom Neft's Science and Technology Centre have developed a unique formulation for BRIT-brand road sealants, specifically for the German market - with experts praising this product's high quality, performance and ecological features during laboratory tests. German specialists also noted Gazprom Neft bitumen sealants' (mastics') high performance on asphalt following experience on a pilot test-section on the Munich city motorway.
Bitumen products for the German market are produced at the NOVA-Brit plant in Vyzma, in the Smolensk Oblast. This bitumen plant's full product range covers more than 100 branded mastics, sealants, protective-restorative compounds and sealant tapes - many of which have no competitive alternatives in Russia, and are actively used in building and servicing road transport infrastructure, airfields, utilities and energy facilities.
