Enhance Asphalt Performance with Bio-Based Rheology Modifiers
Transform low-quality bitumen by improving durability and asphalt rheology
Cargill’s Anova® Rheology Modifiers are high-performance solutions designed to optimize asphalt rheology and improve the durability of low-quality bitumen. As a trusted modifier supplier, we deliver bio-based rheology modifiers that reduce viscosity, expand the Useful Temperature Interval (UTI), and enhance polymer compatibility—helping improve low-temperature performance all while reducing the long-term aging of bitumen. Anova is ideal for modifying the PG or PEN grade of bitumen for paving grade and emulsified binders.

Frequently asked questions
What are asphalt rheology modifiers?
Asphalt rheology modifiers are additives that improve the flow and performance characteristics of asphalt binders. Specifically, Anova® modifiers further reduce the low-temperature grade of bitumen and help expand the Useful Temperature Interval (UTI), enhance durability, and optimize workability.
How do Anova bio-based rheology modifiers improve asphalt performance?
Anova modifiers improve low-temperature performance grades, reduce viscosity, and enhance polymer compatibility to allow asphalt resist aging and maintain durability over time.
Why choose bio-based rheology modifiers over petroleum-based alternatives?
Bio-based rheology modifiers offer sustainability benefits, lower VOCs, and safer handling while delivering proven performance through viscosity reduction and long-term aging resistance.
Can Anova rheology modifiers be used for paving grade and emulsified binders?
Yes. Anova products are designed for both paving grade and emulsified asphalt binders, making them versatile solutions for various applications.
Why should I look for a modifier that resists aging?
Modifiers that resist aging help maintain asphalt durability over time by reducing binder stiffness and slowing oxidation. This means pavements stay flexible longer, reducing cracking and deterioration for extended service life.
