Added to the mix
The filler replaces part of the fine mineral component of the asphalt mixture. Dosage and mix design are selected according to the technical documentation.
Anti-icing technology for asphalt concrete
Winter road maintenance technology
How Grikol works
It does not melt the ice mass — it weakens the bond between ice and asphalt.
1Moisture dissolves chlorides in the upper pavement layer.
2Capillary transport and wheel loads help bring the solution to the surface.
3A thin brine film prevents ice from bonding firmly to the asphalt.
As a result, ice and compacted snow are more easily broken by traffic and removed by mechanical cleaning.
Prevention of ice formation on
road pavements
Grikol is an anti-icing filler for asphalt mixtures designed to reduce ice formation and prevent snow and ice from bonding firmly to the pavement.

01 / How it worksFiller in the mix.
Filler in the mix.
Performance at the surface.
During winter operation, a thin film of non-freezing solution forms at the pavement surface. It weakens the bond of snow and ice deposits to the pavement.
Part of the pavement
The asphalt mixture is placed in the upper pavement layer using conventional asphalt production and paving processes.
Preventive action
The surface film reduces the bond of snow and ice to the pavement and makes winter cleaning easier.
Moisture dissolves chlorides in the upper pavement layer
The solution moves through capillaries toward the surface

The filler works as part of the pavement material. Its use should be selected for the specific climate, traffic intensity and winter maintenance regime.

Before starting
a project.
Is winter maintenance still required?
Yes. Grikol can reduce de-icer use and facilitate mechanical cleaning, but it does not eliminate winter maintenance. The maintenance regime is selected according to applicable requirements and site conditions.
How is Grikol added?
It is added during asphalt mix production, replacing part of the fine mineral component. Exact dosage, addition sequence and equipment requirements are determined by the technical documentation.
How much does the filler cost?
A current quotation requires quantity, delivery location and schedule.
What information is needed to discuss a project?
Region, project type, area and wearing-course thickness, proposed asphalt mix, quantities and schedule.
