Enhancing Asphalt Performance: Asphalt and Bitumen Additives for Sustainable Infrastructure

As the demand for road-based freight transport continues to rise in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the need for sustainable infrastructure becomes crucial. At BASF, we recognize the importance of meeting customer requirements for longer durability, improved maintenance, better occupational safety and environmental protection, and the need to save energy and carbon dioxide. BASF’s additives for bitumen and asphalt play a key role in enhancing road surfaces, making them more effective and longer-lasting.

Highlight products

Butonal® MB 5126

Butonal® MB 5126 is a mechanically stable latex polymer dispersion designed to inject directly into an asphalt mixer. It ensures improvements in binder properties, such as a higher softening point and lower penetration.

RheoFalt HP-AM

RheoFalt® HP-AM is 100% based on a directly polymerized natural resin which ensures improvement of aged bitumen with increased asphaltene content. RheoFalt® HP-AM does this by isolating the polar effect instead of reducing asphaltenes content like others.

Butonal® NS 175

Butonal® NS 175 is an aqueous, high solids, cold-polymerized, anionic styrene-butadiene dispersion for modifying pavement asphalt or anionic bitumen emulsions

Butonal® NS 198

Butonal® NS 198 is an aqueous, high solid, cold-polymerized, cationic styrene-butadiene dispersion for modifying cationic bitumen emulsions

Butonal® NX 4190

Butonal® NX 4190 is an aqueous, high solid, cold-polymerized, cationic styrene-butadiene dispersion for modifying cationic bitumen emulsions
