Our Asphalt Modifiers

Strong chemical expertise for sustainable road construction 


With comprehensive chemical, industrial and application knowledge, we develop and market ingredients and additives to increase the performance of hot, warm and cold mix asphalt. 

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. 

BASF is the world leader in the supply of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) for the modification of bitumen emulsions for cold mix applications.

Modifiers for Hot Mix Asphalt and Warm Mix Asphalt

Our Solution for elasticity
Butonal® MB 5126

✓ High asphalt quality in all weather conditions

✓ Tailor-made solution for every requirement  thanks to flexible admixture at the asphalt mixing plant

✓ Outstanding sustainable asphalt technology – safe, energy-saving and environmentally friendly

Our Solution for rejuvenation

RheoFalt® HP-AM

✓ Increases the penetration of bitumen 

✓ Improves the physical adhesion on the minerals 

✓ Improves the use of large quantities of reclaimed asphalt pavements

Our Solution for tack/bond coating
Acronal® NX 4627

✓ Increases the flexibility in cold temperatures of applied binder

✓ Increases strength in warm temperatures of applied binder 

✓ Reducing vehicular “tracking” of the applied tack/bond coat just prior to the new pavement application 

Modifiers for Cold Mix Asphalt

Our Solution for crack sealing or slurry seals

Butonal® NS 175

✓ Improvements in conventional binder properties like increased softening point or decreased penetration

✓ In more complex rheological properties, it improves more stability and elasticity at upper use temperature range.

✓ Flexible at low service temperatures caused on polymer formulation with low Tg -53°C 

Our Solution for chip seal, spray and sprinkle, or pothole repair

Butonal® NS 198

✓ The performance properties of applied binder from bitumen emulsions will be improved dramatically (vialit-pendulum-test, tension-force-test)

✓ Enhances cohesion and adhesion properties with aggregate and residue properties, e.g. forced ductility, elastic recovery and softening point.

✓ Flexible at low service temperatures caused on polymer formulation with low Tg -53°C. 

Our Solution for chip seal, spray and sprinkle, pothole repair, slurry seals and micro surfacing

Butonal® NX 4190

✓ Excellent cohesion and adhesion properties with aggregate and significantly enhancement of residue properties such as forced ductility, toughness & tenacity, elastic recovery and softening point.

✓ Increases strength in warm temperatures of applied binder 

✓ It is easy to handle with liquid delivery and storage in IBC at normal temperatures.
