Business Opportunities

Cantat Associates Inc. do business by creating strategic alliances and partnerships with local representatives worldwide. We offer attractive cooperation opportunities and technological packages, provide our representatives with all the tools they need to develop business in their region.

From the start, we work hard to provide continuous technical support, assistance in any local certification procedures, continuous monitoring of quality throughout the initial stages of business development.

Companies who currently produce asphalt or wish to add the production of additional types of asphalt mixes (cold mix, warm mix asphalt) to their product line, are offered the following opportunities:

Package 1 - Cold Mix Asphalt production using the McAsphalt Perma Patch technology and concentrate

Cantat Associates Inc. offers this package that allows businesses to make use of their own local ingredients (aggregate, bitumen and diesel), which are available to them at low cost, to produce high quality Cold Mix Asphalt (Cold Patch). The cold patch material can be produced in any existing asphalt plant without any plant modifications. All we provide is the Perma Patch concentrate, added at a rate of 1 - 1.5 kg per 1 ton of asphalt mix, which serves as the main ingredient producing high quality indicators of adhesion, cohesion, compaction and workability. We also provide the technology of preparation (know-how) and the methods of Quality Control.

Step 1: Required raw materials samples and description
A) Aggregate sample in the quantity of 5 kg (fraction 5-10 mm) - granite stones are recommended, but limestone can also be used (better quality stone requires less concentrate. E.g. granite typically requires only 1 kg of Perma Patch concentrate per 1 ton of finished product)
B) Technical specifications of the bitumen (BND grade, source)
C) Technical specifications of the diesel

Step 2: Ingredient analysis and Mix Design

The ingredients are analyzed at the McAsphalt research centre in Toronto, where research and testing is conducted to achieve an optimal quality cold mix asphalt formula. At the end of this process, a mix design is issued providing the cold mix asphalt formula and recommended proportions of each ingredient, to be used in its production.

Also provided is the production technology and quality control methods, which must be strictly followed to achieve a high quality of finished product.

As part of this process and upon production start-up, training and certification in QC and process control is available and encouraged. Training takes place at the McAsphalt research centre in Toronto, allowing local specialists of the representative company to gain full and invaluable knowledge of the production process.
