Market Definition
Asphalt additives are substances added to the asphalt binder to enhance its properties, such as resistance to rutting, thermal cracking, and stripping caused by moisture. Asphalt pavements tend to become stiff and brittle in regions with high temperatures, while cracks tend to form in areas with low ambient temperatures. These additives also help improve the binding properties of asphalt, strengthening the bond between the aggregate and other components asphalt.
