What We Offer
Our products are tailored to specific asphalt or specific asphalt formulations and accordingly, we offer a selection of products, contributing different functionalities.
We offer more effective and lower cost alternates to known products such as Sunoco Hydrolene™ or ExxonMobil Polybilt 101™. In paving applications, our products offer reduced lay-down temperatures, lower emissions and a more durable pavement. In PMA formulations, our new efficient cross-linkers reduce costs and reduce SBS content. Our products offer roofing manufacturers, lower emissions, reduced cycle times, increased line speed and lower energy costs. Our products allow use of PG Graded asphalt for BURA and potentially for shingle coating versus expensive asphalt flux in oxidation.
Savings are realized in each of the following categories by (1) reduced material and compound cost, (2) reduced energy in processing the asphalt compound, (3) reduced emissions by the ability to process or apply at lower temperatures, (4) increased production rates, especially in oxidation processes, or (5) a combination of two or more of these values.
Added benefits include stronger and more durable pavements or roofing products based on using our materials in your asphalt mix, or the ability to incorporate our products without the capital investments of oxidation processes or high-shear mixing.
A. Asphalt Performance Modifiers
based on renewable resources or on natural gas chemistries, provide options to reduce asphalt viscosity or compound viscosities in paving and roofing formulations, expanding supply options, saving energy by reduced application temperatures, reducing emissions and achieving durable pavement or roofing products.
- BituTech PER (lower cost alternate to Hydrolene ™)
- BituTech RAP
- BituTech PLR
- BituTech PLR-H
- BituTech WA1
- BituTech VPW
- BituTech SPE
- BituTech BUR
These materials offer the ability to change the Penetration and Softening Point relationship of nearly any asphalt or asphalt compound, and provide the opportunity to reduce the amount of conventional polymer that may be required, thereby reducing your costs. In other applications, these modifiers allow the user to develop similar properties to that of oxidized asphalt without the costs and equipment associated with oxidation.
B. Warm-Mix and High RAP Additives
will save substantial energy and material costs in producing a new or High RAP paving mix, significantly improve the handling characteristics of the mix and extend the pavement lay-down time with no adverse effects on compaction or voids.
- BituTech RAP
- BituTech PER
- BituTech WA1
- BituTech VPW
These unique additives allow processing temperature reductions of 50º F or more, in the mix drum and reductions of 50º F or more, in pavement lay-down, allowing for immediate rolling compaction rather than being delayed as the freshly laid pavement cools. Each of these additives will yield significant energy savings at the mix plant and substantial time savings at the construction site. Less emissions and therefore less noxious fumes are released at these lower temperatures, resulting in a better working environment.
Use of BituTech RAP or PER in Warm-mix paving formulations also involving RAP, offers a dual benefit of achieving High RAP content and yielding full Warm-mix benefits with a single dose additive. For more information, click on: BituTech RAP & PER: High RAP and Warm-Mix Asphalt Solutions.
C. Polymer Compatibilizers
based on renewable resources or developed within our proprietary compounds, improve the affinity of the asphalt system for the polymers you choose to use, potentially reducing the total quantity of polymer required.
- BituTech PLR
- BituTech PLR-H
- BituTech PER
D. Pavement Performance Modifiers
based on renewable resources or developed within our proprietary family of compounds, provide the ability to extend both the high and low PG temperature ranges of a given asphalt without need of high shear processing.
These additives enhance the stiffness modulus to improve the load bearing properties of the PG binder through improved adhesive strength. Once dispersed into the asphalt, they will not separate, even if the binder is cooled and reheated.
- BituTech PLR
- BituTech PLR-H
- BituTech ML-PAV (lower cost alternate to Polybilt 101™)
E. Oxidation Enhancing Chemistries
allow asphalt oxidation, at reduced processing temperatures and shorter cycle times, thereby reducing costs, increasing production rate and increasing capacity.
They allow the user to expand the range of acceptable asphalt to generate his oxidized asphalt products, i.e. using harder (lower penetration) and less expensive asphalt to oxidize and achieve targeted results, reducing the need for expensive asphalt flux for shingle products. These materials are not catalysts, do not contain polyphosphoric acid and are miscible in all asphalts.
- BituTech ML-BUR
- BituTech CLX
- BituTech CLS
F. Sulfur & Non-Sulfur Cross-linkers
are new and efficient cross-linkers that will improve effectiveness at lower costs over sulfur or conventional cross-linkers available from others. These materials offer the option for reducing polymer usage and at less cost.
- BituTech CLX
- BituTech CLS
G. RAP Performance Modifiers or Rejuvenators
based on renewable resources, with flash point over 425°F, allow a more effective use of RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement) or recovered scrap shingles in new highway paving formulations.
- BituTech RAP
H. Unique Carrier Solvents
based on renewable resources, with a flash point typically over 425°F, allow an effective means to convey liquid dispersible solids into an asphalt formulation.
- BituTech PER
We offer easy access to conventional polymers and additives, currently used in paving and roofing formulations, such as:
- SBS SEBS
- APP TPO
- EVA Vestomer®
- PE PP
- EP Rubber Process Oils
- Functionalized polyolefins Carbon Black (modifiers)
- GTR (ground tire rubber) |
