AsphaltPro’s 15 Top Products: ButaPhalt®, A New Cross‑Linking Additive for Polymer‑Modified Bitumen

This product was selected for the inaugural AsphaltPro’s 15 Top Products Feature.

Founded in 2006, Sripath Technologies® LLC, Mahwah, New Jersey, is a global supplier of additives. Through an extensive network of affiliates, agents, and experts, Sripath develops, tests, and markets proprietary additives for the purpose of enhancing the properties of bitumen, asphalt mixes, and formulations. Sept. 11, 2025, the company launched the crosslinking additive, ButaPhalt®.

May 2025, Sripath acquired the “Buta Business” consisting of the assets of ButaPhalt Products LLC, ButaChem LLC, ButaMix LLC, and related businesses and activities. ButaPhalt is the first product of the Buta Business being offered under the Sripath banner.

ButaPhalt is a crosslinking additive that is engineered to improve the performance of polymer-modified bitumen (PMB). It allows sulfur to crosslink with the polymer during PMB production, which may help reduce the amount of polymer needed in a PMB mix to deliver desired performance. ButaPhalt is formulated from a proprietary blend of sulfur powder, accelerators, scavengers, surfactants, absorbing agents and specialty oils. The result is a product designed to be a more effective crosslinking additive as well as highly dosage efficient.

The manufacturer states: “ButaPhalt typically improves productivity, reduces processing time, and lowers operational costs. ButaPhalt is an operations-friendly product that is easy to use and safe to handle. It can reduce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) emissions and odor typically associated with PMB production. It helps improve working conditions while mitigating potential environmental impacts. ButaPhalt improves the thermal stability of a PMB. It easily delivers desired PMB performance.”

“From a technical perspective, ButaPhalt has been and continues to be a significant step forward in crosslinker technology,” said Dennis Krivohlavek, the business development specialist for Sripath Technologies. “Its proprietary formulation delivers greater stability, consistent performance, and enhanced ease of handling for producers. We’ve designed it to integrate seamlessly into PMB production, helping our customers optimize their processes while meeting stringent performance specifications.”
