Sripath chosen as a top 15 product of 2025 by Asphalt Pro Magazine

MAHWAH, NJ (February 4, 2026) – Sripath Technologies LLC, a leading supplier of innovative additives for the asphalt and bitumen industry, is proud to announce that its crosslinking additive ButaPhalt® has been selected by AsphaltPro as one of the "Top 15 Products of 2025." The award reflects the crosslinker's technical innovation, performance benefits, and health and safety benefits. The recognition also underscores the growing industry excitement around ButaPhalt's market launch as an endorsement from one of the paving industry's most respected trade publications. 

 

On the strength of its recent launch, ButaPhalt has already drawn significant attention for its ability to effortlessly achieve desired polymer modified bitumen (PMB) grade and performance. It also improves productivity and PMB thermal stability. Further, ButaPhalt delivers a notable reduction in hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas emissions and odors commonly associated with conventional PMB production, thus delivering tangible improvement in working conditions and worker safety. 

ButaPhalt debuted in 2025 under the Sripath brand following the company's strategic acquisition of the "Buta Business," which included the assets of ButaPhalt Products LLC, ButaChem LLC, ButaMix LLC, and related businesses and activities. The acquisition represented a pivotal expansion of the company's portfolio to offer an innovative crosslinking additive for PMB production applications around the globe.  

Available both as a free-flowing powder and a pumpable liquid suspension, ButaPhalt simplifies handling and reduces dust hazards. Its proprietary formulation, which includes sulfur, accelerators, scavengers, surfactants, specialty oils, and absorbents, is specially engineered to allow sulfur to more effectively crosslink with the polymer during PMB production. ButaPhalt can also help reduce the amount of polymer required to achieve target PMB performance levels. 

"With ButaPhalt, our ambition was to offer an easy-to-use crosslinker that brings measurable performance gains while helping asphalt producers reduce processing time, lower operational costs, and improve productivity," said Krishna Srinivasan, President, Sripath Technologies. "Being named an AsphaltPro Top 15 Product of 2025 is a powerful endorsement of that vision." 

The inclusion of ButaPhalt in the AsphaltPro Top 15 list marks a moment of validation for the product as well as Sripath's mission to drive innovation in the asphalt industry. With global demand for high-performance asphalt additives continuing to grow, ButaPhalt's early success suggests it could play a significant role in shaping the future of PMB production as asphalt producers shift toward more efficient, effective, and environmentally friendly processes and products. 

"ButaPhalt's positive market reception validates our strategic focus to deliver innovative additives to the asphalt and bitumen industry," said Deepak Madan, Chief Operating Officer, Sripath Technologies. "It's a clear signal the market is ready and eager for crosslinking. It also reflects our commitment to offer additives that deliver superior performance, are easy-to-use, and are cost effective."
