Indian Roads Congress Annual Meeting

Join Solstice Advanced Materials at the 85th Annual Session of the Indian Roads Congress to explore how functionalized polymers can help address critical pavement challenges while supporting the development of more durable and sustainable road infrastructure.

Hitex, Hyderabad, India

Nov 19 - Nov 22, 2026

Exclusive Technical Sessions with Dr. Hussain Bahia

Take part in an interactive technical session hosted by Hussain Bahia, Vilas Distinguished Professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Director of the Modified Asphalt Research Center. His research focuses on pavement materials and design, particularly modified asphalt binders and mixtures.

Through focused discussions and practical insights, these sessions will explore how functionalized polymers can help improve resistance to rutting, cracking, and moisture damage while supporting more efficient and sustainable pavement construction.

To encourage meaningful discussion and interaction, attendance will be limited to eight participants per session. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Technical sessions:

  • RAP fractionation, workability, and best practices
  • Future opportunities in modified asphalt binders beyond traditional PMB and CRMB
  • Simplifying and optimizing SMA applications using polymer technologies

Attend Our Podium Presentation

Leveraging Functionalized Polymer for High-Performance and Sustainable Pavements

India’s road infrastructure must withstand heavy traffic, challenging climatic conditions, and persistent pavement distress, including rutting, cracking, and moisture damage. Addressing these challenges requires material technologies that improve pavement performance and durability while supporting broader sustainability objectives.

Attend our podium presentation to learn how Solstice Titan® functionalized polymer can help:

  • Improve resistance to rutting, cracking, and moisture damage
  • Enhance adhesion between asphalt binders and aggregates
  • Support efficient mixing and pavement production
  • Reduce energy consumption and associated carbon emissions
  • Deliver durable, high-performance pavement solutions

The presentation will also highlight application insights and case studies demonstrating the use of Solstice Titan® in paving projects.
