Asphalt Performance
Road-based freight transport across Europe will continue to increase significantly in the future, sustainability is therefore a key issue when it comes to infrastructure. This is why BASF works on new solutions to meet customer needs such as longer durability and improved maintenance as well as energy and carbon-dioxide savings. Additives for bitumen and asphalt are instrumental in making road surfaces more effective and longer lasting. There are, however, great differences between one asphalt recipe and another. What matters therefore is to focus on the development of tailor-made, local solutions to meet customer requirements.
We offer a wide range of modifiers for asphalt performance enhancement that are all designed to improve the mechanical properties of pavements. This results in greater durability, increased driving comfort, reduced road maintenance costs and less impact on the environment.
As a leading chemical company, BASF has the expertise and experience to improve the quality and processing of bitumen and asphalt in a unique, innovative and customer-oriented way.
Pavement preservation covers a wide range of applications to protect engineered roads and extend service life. From filling small cracks and voids to entire thin lift overlays, BASF offers polymer solutions for all types of asphalt paving applications.
