Universal Matter GBR and Tarmac use graphene additive on a public road in the UK

The addition of graphene to the asphalt is said to extend the road’s lifespan by reducing rutting and cracking, and increasing resistance to potholes. This promises a ‘smoother journey’ for drivers and less damage to vehicles, potentially leading to ‘significant reductions’ in the carbon footprint of roads.

Universal Matter GBR has collaborated with Tarmac, the UK’s largest road construction firm, and Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council to use the Genable™ Pavement additive road surface in the UK’s North East. The innovative material, which is said to be more durable and environmentally friendly, was used on a public road in Teesside.
