Asphalt Modification

Eastman offers products for two major asphalt modification markets, roofing and road paving. Materials for modified bitumen roofing are Eastoflex™ amorphous polyolefins, which are used to modify asphalt to produce a single-ply roofing membrane. Eastman™ EE-2 polymer is a functionally modified olefin for high-temperature modification for road asphalt. Dresinate™ TX-60W tall oil soap is designed for use mainly as the soap emulsifier in the manufacture of road surfacing asphalt anionic emulsions of the RS and MS types.
