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.
