Puzzled about which polymer modified asphalt (PMA) to use?
Why not the one that helps you pave faster and easier ?

Compared with other PMAs, binders made with Elvaloy® RET can save you time and money:

Faster Compaction -- faster lay-down, fewer penalties, accepts traffic faster

  • Steel roller can be closer to the spreader, compared with other PMAs
  • Can use rubber roller for fine tuning compaction
  • Knits better with other lanes
  • More roller maneuverability

Easier Cleanup -- streamlined operations, cost savings

  • Less likely to stick in truck
  • Doesn't stick and form strings with hand equipment
    less sticking to hand tools

Lower Temperatures -- use less heat, reduce drain down

  • Processes like unmodified asphalts in hot mix plant
  • Run hot mix plant cooler than with other PMAs
  • Reduce fumes and odor complaints

Better Storage Stability -- binder won't separate, tolerates longer shipping and delays

  • Thermally and oxidatively stable
  • Consistent behavior in the hot mix plant, paver and in compaction
