Category: Mechanical/Materials
Developers: The Dow Chemical Company
Co-Developers: Ecological 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.
