Asphalt and Bitumen-Based Products

The use of Rheoplus rheological additives in bitumen-based products is very helpful:

For improving consistency and flow control at high temperatures.
For rheology and surface finish enhancement.
As thickeners, anti-sagging, and anti-settling agents.
For ensuring optimal distribution of solvents, fillers, and other components.
As a partial substitution of SBS polymers while improving system aging.

Main Markets:

What effect does the use of sepolite-based additives have on bituminous products?

Contribute to improved consistency and flow control at high temperatures

Which is crucial to maintain product stability and performance under extreme conditions.

Improves surface finish as well as material manageability

They act as efficient thickeners, anti-hair loss and anti-settling agents

Ensure optimal distribution of solvents, fillers and other components

Offer the ability to partially replace SBS polymers

Sepiolites play an essential role in bitumen-based applications by improving consistency, rheology and flow control, as well as acting as thickening agents and ensuring a homogeneous distribution of components. They also offer the advantage of partially replacing SBS polymers, improving the longevity of the system.
