Externally Validated Test Results

NCAT Logo

Genable™ Pavement is being validated at Auburn University’s NCAT Test Track, one of North America’s leading pavement performance testing facilities. Since traffic began in October 2024, Genable™ has undergone accelerated real-world loading designed to simulate years of road use — with strong early results in rutting, smoothness, and cracking performance.

    Graphene Effect:
    Longer Lasting (Aging) Pavement

    Oxidation-stable polymer chemistry

    Genable avoids oxidation-sensitive unsaturation common in leading elastomeric PMB polymers, reducing reactive sites for oxygen attack and chain scission.

    Graphene-enabled radical control

    Graphene provides free-radical scavenging / antioxidant behavior that suppresses radical propagation pathways that drive oxidative hardening in asphalt.

    Slower oxidation kinetics, longer elasticity retention

    Genable™ Pavement Public Road Trial

    Flatts Lane Country Park — Redcar & Cleveland, United Kingdom

    Universal Matter’s Genable™ Pavement was used in the first UK public road trial of graphene-enhanced pavement, marking an important milestone for the commercialization of advanced, lower-impact pavement technologies.

    The project was delivered in collaboration with Tarmac and Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council. More than 150 tonnes of graphene-enhanced pavement were produced at Tarmac’s Coxhoe pavement plant in Durham and transported to Flatts Lane Country Park, near Middlesbrough, where the material was used to construct a new entrance road.

    The Flatts Lane project represented the first public road application of Genable™ Pavement, following earlier testing in car parks in North America and accelerated pavement testing at the National Center for Pavement Technology test track. The successful placement demonstrated that Genable™ Pavement can be incorporated into standard pavement production and paving operations using existing industry infrastructure.

    Tarmac’s participation reflected the industry’s growing focus on durability, sustainability, and next-generation road materials. By combining Universal Matter’s graphene technology with Tarmac’s pavement production and paving expertise, the project demonstrated how advanced materials can be deployed to support longer-lasting and more sustainable infrastructure.

    The Flatts Lane trial highlights Genable™ Pavement’s potential to help build roads that perform better, last longer, and reduce environmental impact over their service life.

    Genable™ Pavement U.S. DOT Field Testing

    Maryland, Minnesota, and Tennessee

    Universal Matter’s Genable™ Pavement has been placed in multiple U.S. Department of Transportation field trials, demonstrating its ability to integrate into standard pavement production and paving operations across different geographies, climates, and project conditions.
    The first official state DOT field trial was completed with Maryland DOT and Pleasant’s Paving, where 260 tonnes of Genable™ Pavement mix were produced and applied across residential and commercial projects. The trial confirmed the product’s scalability in standard pavement production, achieving strong compaction, excellent workability, and reduced tackiness compared with traditional polymer-modified pavement.
    In Minnesota, 175 tonnes of Genable™ Pavement mix were produced using dry-addition at a Martin Marietta plant and placed by Caterpillar on MnROAD’s Low Volume Road test section under MnDOT supervision. The project will evaluate long-term durability and cold-climate performance through continued testing, coring, and monitoring.
    In Tennessee, Rogers Group produced 300 tonnes of Genable™ Pavement mix at its Lewisburg plant for a TDOT field trial on Highway 50 in Maury County. The mix incorporated 25% reclaimed pavement pavement and Genable™ Pavement, marking the first Tennessee state project to use Universal Matter’s graphene-enhanced pavement technology.
    Together, these DOT projects show that Genable™ Pavement can be deployed using existing pavement plants, standard paving equipment, and conventional construction practices. They also build a strong foundation for broader state-level adoption and future infrastructure deployment.
