Innovative Crosslinker Joins Portfolio of Asphalt and Bitumen AdditivesÂ
Â
MAHWAH, NJ (September 11, 2025) – Sripath Technologies® LLC, a leading supplier of innovative additives for the asphalt and bitumen industry, announced the launch of an innovative crosslinking additive, ButaPhalt®. In May 2025, Sripath acquired the “Buta Business” consisting of the assets of ButaPhalt Products LLC, ButaChem LLC, ButaMix LLC, and related businesses and activities. ButaPhalt is the first product of the Buta Business being offered under the Sripath banner. Â
Â
ButaPhalt is an innovative crosslinking additive that is specially engineered to improve the performance of Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB). It allows sulfur to more effectively crosslink with the polymer during PMB production, which may help reduce the amount of polymer needed in a PMB mix to deliver desired performance. ButaPhalt is formulated from a proprietary blend of sulfur powder, accelerators, scavengers, surfactants, absorbing agents, and specialty oils. The result is a product that is a more effective crosslinking additive as well as highly dosage efficient. Â
Â
ButaPhalt is available as both a free-flowing, dust-free power and as a pumpable liquid suspension for easy handling. ButaPhalt powder also helps reduce waste and backhaul charges. ButaPhalt typically improves productivity, reduces processing time, and lowers operational costs. ButaPhalt is an operations-friendly product that is easy to use and safe to handle. It can reduce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions and odor typically associated with PMB production. It helps improve working conditions while mitigating potential environmental impacts. ButaPhalt improves the thermal stability of a PMB. It easily delivers desired PMB performance.Â
Â
“We’re incredibly proud to add ButaPhalt to Sripath’s product portfolio,” said Dr. Krishna Srinivasan, President, Sripath Technologies. “We believe it fills a need in the industry for high-performing crosslinkers that improve polymer modified bitumen performance and grade more effectively than traditional solutions.”Â
Â
Dr. Deepak Madan, Chief Operating Officer for Sripath, said, “ButaPhalt is another defining moment for our corporate trajectory as we continue to provide solutions that make asphalt better. We are eager to bring this innovative crosslinking additive to our partners and customers around the world.”Â
Â
“From a technical perspective, ButaPhalt has been and continues to be a significant step forward in crosslinker technology,” said Dennis Krivohlavek, Business Development Specialist, Sripath Technologies. “Its proprietary formulation delivers greater stability, consistent performance, and enhanced ease of handling for producers. We’ve designed it to integrate seamlessly into PMB production, helping our customers optimize their processes while meeting stringent performance specifications.”Â
