Roadway Paving Applications
Sripath additives help enhance roadway performance. ReLIXER® allows for the use of high-RAP mixes. PGXpand® delivers outstanding rutting resistance and fatigue properties. PHALANX® helps reduce mix production and compaction temperatures.
Sripath products help deliver long-term durable roadways. These benefits help contractors achieve performance specifications even in challenging climates and high-traffic corridors while supporting more sustainable construction practices.
The result is durable asphalt roadways that lower maintenance needs, extend service life, and reduce total lifecycle costs.
Roofing and Building Envelope Applications
Sripath additives are designed to enhance performance of bitumen and asphalt. They help improve high temperature properties, flexibility, adhesion, and weathering performance in roofing and building envelopes.
These enhancements help membranes and envelope systems withstand extreme heat, cold, and UV exposure without compromising structural integrity.
The result is durable, high-performance solutions that maintain long-term reliability across demanding environmental conditions.
Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) Production
Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) binders deliver more durable roadways compared to standard bitumen binders.
Sripath's innovative crosslinking additive ButaPhalt® helps improve PMB performance by promoting more effective crosslinking between the polymer and bitumen.
It helps reduce hydrogen sulfide emissions, improve thermal stability of PMB blends, increase productivity, and easily deliver desired PMB performance.
Repair & Maintenance Applications
For roadway repair and maintenance, Sripath additives PGXpand® and ReLIXER® can be used to create durable pothole repair mixes to help quickly repair roadways. This includes applications for hot-in-place recycling for roadways and high-performance roofing compounds to facilitate repairs.
Sripath products support repair and maintenance crews to execute faster, more effective repairs that reduce downtime and frequency of repair.
Bitumen Quality Management
Increasingly, bitumen quality varies across global supply sources, and producers need reliable ways to meet performance requirements.
Sripath additives PGXpand®, NuMIXER®, and ReNUBIT® help manage bitumen quality by providing a means to adjust functional properties and performance. This approach helps improve consistency and quality of the binder.
Bitumen Emulsions
Sripath products help optimize emulsions properties such as emulsion stability, curing behavior, and surface properties. They help deliver reliable roadway performance.
Producers benefit from improved handling and workability during both production and surface treatments.
These products deliver desired performance while lowering energy consumption and reducing production and application costs.
