BITAFLEX SA 20 SEALANT ON HIGHWAYS IN BUENOS AIRES

Exporting Innovation

A few months ago we received a request to develop a type SA20 sealant according to the IRAM 6838 standard for use in various bridge joints on the Highways leading to the City of Buenos Aires. The particularity of the order is that they specifically required a torsional recovery above 75% when the standard only requires 30%. We took the challenge and tested a large number of variants to achieve the product that we industrially scaled.

We managed to make the first shipment last December and it was applied during January and February on the Autopistas del Oeste viaducts with excellent performance, solving a problem for the contractor who met the deadlines and quality required by the concessionaire.

We invite you to learn more and see photos of the experience.

SA20 sealant is designed for highly technically demanding applications in wide, high-traffic bridge joints designed to respond to severe stresses and demanding weather conditions, especially in road infrastructure and bridges.

It is characterized by its high elasticity along with adhesion and durability, offering superior behavior against the movements of structures and high resistance to weathering. Its formulation allows us to achieve performance levels that exceed the requirements established by the IRAM 6838 standard, particularly with regard to elastic recovery.

Among its main benefits are:

High elastic torsional recovery, greater than 75%, which improves behavior against deformations.
Softening point above 100°C, suitable for hot climates.
Excellent adhesion and resistance, even in wide joints and conditions of intensive use.

These characteristics make SA20 a solution especially suitable for sealing joints in viaducts such as those on the Accesses to Buenos Aires, Argentina. The development and export of this technology positions our products in the region, providing greater durability and reliability in works that require high performance standards.

PROTAGONISTS OF THE “SUSTAINABLE ROUTES” PROJECT ON ROUTE 9

Unpublished experience in the country together with the construction company Traxpalco

“From now on, when you enter Route 9, you will be entering the path of sustainability” announces the radio mention that presents the Sustainable Routes project. The fact is that the construction project of the double road that connects the cities of Pan de Azúcar and Rocha was much more than a construction project: it was the opportunity to incorporate all the sustainability concepts available in our country, applied to road construction.

At BITAFAL we contribute to the project the sustainable asphalt AM3 MAX, a product that is applied at a lower temperature, drastically reducing CO2 emissions, and that is produced in our plant powered by 100% renewable energy. Added to this is the great contribution of the construction company Traxpalco, responsible for the construction of the double track, which incorporated other substantial elements, such as fauna passages, the replacement of native flora affected by the work and the work with the local communities in the area.

The project had the support of the authorities of the Ministry of Transportation and Public Works and the Ministry of the Environment, who understood the importance of incorporating the concept of sustainability into road construction, taking care of the environmental heritage in projects so necessary for the productive development of the country. “Sustainable Routes” is integrated into the actions of the United Nations Global Compact, contributing to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Communication played a substantial role in the launch of the project, informing through the media the scope of this unprecedented experience and committing the users of the route to responsible use of it and the environment that surrounds it. At BITAFAL we encourage that the Sustainable Routes project be replicated in future road construction projects.

FAREWELL TO THE YEAR THE WAY OF BITAFAL

Music, prizes and a lot of joy to close 2025 together.

Everyone knows it: December is a month to celebrate. And at BITAFAL, the end of the year party is a tradition, which is surpassed each year in organization and team participation.

That's why we organized a meeting for our entire team, which had everything necessary to spend a nice moment together. On this occasion, the leadership of the meeting fell to a duo calling themselves “The Low Cost”, made up of our head of Human Resources Marinella Fernández and the recently arrived head of Logistics Alvaro Brugman, who took the entire team through all the sensations: joy, excitement, music and many prizes.

Our directors Claudio and Santiago Kröger were in charge of reviewing what we experienced throughout 2025 and putting the emphasis on everything that is coming next year. There was no shortage of recognition for the career of several members of the team, as well as emotional and fun words from the honorees.

And after a break for the gastronomic proposal, it was time for music, with the band “P40” directed by our dear colleague Fernado Cardozo, who made the entire audience dance for more than an hour.

This is how we close the year at BITAFAL, in our own way, together, making our motto as a team a reality: #SomosUno!!!

INFONEGOCIOS GALA

Claudio Kröger, candidate for entrepreneur of the year.

If 2024 needed something to end in the best of spirits, the nomination of our Director Claudio Kröger as a candidate for Businessman of the Year brought us great joy.

The nomination was made by the prestigious business publication InfoNegocios, which included Claudio along with prominent businessmen from very diverse sectors. And to offer the greatest security and transparency, the vote was audited by the consulting firm PWC.

The occasion was favorable for the BITAFAL management team to participate in the InfoNegocios Gala, a spectacular ceremony at the Antel Arena led by Juanita Viale, where in addition to the excitement of the awards, we were able to share a pleasant conversation with representatives of other companies.

We thank the InfoNegocios team for the nomination and invitation, and we hope to be present again in future editions, contributing from the business sector to the growth of the country.

WE CELEBRATE TOGETHER!!!

2024, Your Route is My Route.

The year that ends was not just another in BITAFAL. A year full of challenges, participation in major road works, innovations and projects for the future. It was also a year of participation in the academic world, action in the community and a strong commitment to sustainability.

For all these reasons, we decided to close the year as we started it: all together, happy for what we experienced and excited about what is to come. To celebrate, we organized a party with our entire team, which we called Your Route is My Route

A party that made us go through all the climates: joy, reflection, gifts and a lot of emotion. And like any gathering of friends, music and fun were present with the band Vi-Em live.

Do you want to experience the party like us? Look!
