Bitumen softeners can help lower the viscosity of an asphalt mix, improving flexibility and adhesion that can lead to the production of more durable surfaces. NuMIXER® is an all-natural blend of green, prime bio-based oils designed to enhance the bitumen properties in roofing and paving applications. It is used to enhance polymer and crumb rubber compatibility and dispersion, reduce and manage viscosity, and improve low temperature properties, leading to long-term durability and better performance. NuMIXER is an environmentally friendly product, with very low odor, no VOC and safe for workers and is compatible with a wide range of bitumens.
Sustainable Bitumen Additives to Extend Asphalt Lifespan
Sustainability may be one of the defining priorities in pavement and roofing construction. Governments, producers, contractors, and asset owners are all under pressure to reduce emissions, conserve resources, and improve the long-term environmental performance of infrastructure. However, one misconception still persists throughout the industry: that sustainable solutions require sacrificing cost, durability, or long-term performance. Advances in asphalt chemistry are proving the opposite. Sustainable bitumen additives are helping producers create [...]
