Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies, and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards, celebrating the program's 60th Anniversary this year, has long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2022 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: The Dow Chemical Company
Co-Developers: Ecologic Materials Corporation
United States
Product Description:ELVALOY™TM RET MF 1177 is a multi-functional elastomer, engineered to be a drop-in to existing asphalt modification processes and blend more quickly, at lower temperatures than other polymer modifiers. It reactively modifies asphalt to enhance rutting and cracking resistance while compatibilizing recycled polyethylene (RPE) for sustainable and mechanically resilient roads.
