Helps fight rutting, cracking, stripping

Pavement friction courses made with polymer modified asphalt (PMA) containing Elvaloy® last longer and stay smoother than unmodified asphalts. DuPont™ Elvaloy® asphalt modifiers include reactive elastomeric terpolymer (RET) that locks in performance by chemically strengthening ... not just mixing into ... the hot mix binder.
