Development of road infrastructure is an indispensable condition for economic and social progress of many countries. In this paper we studied in detail the patterns of interaction between components studied in order to obtain a binder for color plastoconcrete based on thermoplastic resins and the mixtures of unsaturated and saturated acids of vegetable origin from plant oils as solvents, with addition of ultrathene, pigments. There is some evidence about the nature and quality of interaction obtained in the synthesis of binders. The main performance properties of the obtained binder systems were analyzed as well as softening point, penetration, ductility, adhesion to mineral particles.
