HINCOL BITUCLAIR
Coloured Synthetic Binder 4 GradesHINCOL BITUCLAIR is a translucent, colorable synthetic binder for producing coloured hot mix asphalt in any shade or hue. As part of HINCOL’s Special Bitumen Products range — backed by COLAS SA France with global expertise across 50+ countries — BITUCLAIR remains translucent when applied in thin layers (honey-coloured tint in thicker layers) and can be pigmented to produce red, green, blue, yellow, or any custom coloured asphalt.
The rheological characteristics of BITUCLAIR are analogous to conventional bitumen binders with equivalent penetration — same structural performance, same equipment, same processes. Available in four grades covering highways, tunnels, cycle tracks, mastic asphalt, surface dressings, and microsurfacing.
🔬 Why BITUCLAIR Stays Coloured — The Science
Conventional bitumen is black because of asphaltene — a complex aromatic hydrocarbon molecule. BITUCLAIR is synthesized from base products that contain no asphaltene. This means the binder is naturally translucent, and any pigment or colour added to the mix will show through clearly — giving vibrant, long-lasting coloured asphalt that retains its colour over the pavement service life.
🎨
Any Colour or Shade
Pigmented in any hue — red, green, blue, yellow, orange, or any custom colour. Vibrant colours that last over the pavement service life.
⚙️
Same Mechanical Performance
Rheological properties analogous to conventional bitumen — no compromise on structural strength, elastic recovery, or durability.
🏭
Conventional Equipment
Manufactured and applied using standard bituminous mixing plants and paving equipment. No special machinery required.
🌡️
EN LT — Lower Temperatures
EN LT grade applied 20–40°C lower than conventional hot mix — reducing energy consumption and binder ageing at the plant.
🚦
Lane & Zone Demarcation
Permanent coloured asphalt for lane demarcation, junction zones, and traffic management — no paint markings that wear off.
🛣️
Highways to Mastic
Four grades cover everything from highways and tunnels (EN LT, ES) to mastic asphalt (15/25A) and surface dressings (70/100E).

Applications of HINCOL BITUCLAIR
Where coloured bituminous surfacing adds function, safety, and aesthetics.
🛣️ Highways & Roads
Coloured hot mix asphalt for lane demarcation, junction zones, and colour-coded traffic management on national highways and urban roads.
🚇 Tunnels
Light-coloured tunnel pavement improves visibility in low-light environments — reducing artificial lighting requirements and improving driver safety.
🚴 Cycle Tracks & Bike Paths
Green, red, or blue coloured asphalt clearly demarcates dedicated cycle lanes and shared paths — improving road safety for cyclists.
🅿️ Parking Lots
Colour-coded parking zones — bay demarcation, accessible parking, pedestrian walkways — using durable coloured asphalt.
🚶 Pedestrian Zones
Decorative and functional coloured paving for pedestrian zones, town squares, promenades, and heritage streetscape projects.
🏟️ Sports & Play Areas
Red, green, or blue surfacing for sports courts, children’s play areas, athletics tracks, and recreational surfaces.
🏨 Coloured Mastic Asphalt

Frequently Asked Questions — HINCOL BITUCLAIR
What is HINCOL BITUCLAIR?
HINCOL BITUCLAIR is a translucent, colorable synthetic binder for producing coloured hot mix asphalt. Unlike conventional bitumen, it contains no asphaltene — so it stays translucent and can be pigmented in any colour. It has the same mechanical performance as conventional bitumen binders with equivalent penetration.
Why does conventional bitumen stay black but BITUCLAIR stays coloured?
Conventional bitumen is black because it contains asphaltene — a complex aromatic hydrocarbon that absorbs all visible light. BITUCLAIR is synthesised from base products that contain no asphaltene. Without asphaltene, the binder is naturally translucent — any pigment added to the asphalt mix shows through clearly, giving vibrant, durable coloured asphalt.
What colours can BITUCLAIR asphalt be made in?
BITUCLAIR binder can be coloured in any shade or hue — red, green, blue, yellow, orange, or any custom colour. The final colour depends on the pigment and aggregate combination used in the mix design. HINCOL’s technical team can advise on pigment selection for your specific colour requirement.
What are the four grades of BITUCLAIR and when should each be used?
- BITUCLAIR EN LT: Coloured hot mix for highways, roads, tunnels, cycle tracks, parking lots, and sidewalks. Applied 20–40°C lower than conventional hot mix. Bulk + 1kg slabs.
- BITUCLAIR ES: Same applications as EN LT — slightly harder grade. Bulk supply.
- BITUCLAIR 15/25A: Specifically for coloured mastic asphalt applications. Hard grade. Bulk + 20kg boxes.
- BITUCLAIR 70/100E: For coloured surface dressings and microsurfacing on existing roads. Bulk supply.
Does BITUCLAIR need special mixing or paving equipment?
No. BITUCLAIR-based products are manufactured and applied using conventional bituminous mixing plants and paving equipment — no special machinery investment required. The key precaution is to ensure the plant and equipment are thoroughly cleaned to avoid contamination with conventional black bitumen, which would affect the colour.
What is the EN LT format and how does it save energy?
BITUCLAIR EN LT format means the mix is manufactured and applied at temperatures 20–40°C lower than conventional hot mix when applied mechanically. This reduces fuel consumption at the plant, lowers binder ageing during production, and reduces fume and odour at the paving site — while maintaining full structural performance.
Is BITUCLAIR coloured asphalt more durable than painted road markings?
Yes — significantly more durable. Painted road markings typically need repainting every 1–3 years, especially on high-traffic roads. BITUCLAIR coloured asphalt is integral to the pavement surface — it does not peel, fade, or wear away like paint. This makes it the preferred solution for permanent cycle lanes, bus lanes, junction zones, and pedestrian areas.
