Welcome
Ventraco Innovation Centre
Ventraco Innovation Centre (VIC) develops smart additives to modify asphalt and bitumen. Our additives are known by the brandname: RHEOFALT.
The world of bitumen is changing. The sources and therefore the chemical composition of bitumen are different compared to a few years ago. Straight run bitumen is disappearing from the market. Ventraco Innovation Centre offers solutions with additives which accommodate these changes while meeting the needs of the different countries we supply our products to. The challenge is to limit the environmental impact, but the focus is much broader than just reducing carbon emissions.
Decisions are based on economic benefits as well; how technology can both save the asphalt producers money as well as carbon emissions over the lifetime of a road. Bitumen today may well be a blend of several different feedstocks, which means that the chemical composition of the bitumen will vary and will have an impact on the quality of the asphalt. RHEOFALT additives improve the chemical and physical properties of the asphalt and bitumen, in order to be able to meet the European Standard and regional regulations. By using RheoFalt additives we can overcome the inconsistent and varying bitumen supplies and improve the asphalt and bitumen properties.
New bitumen does not need refineries
A breakthrough for the bitumen market; bitumen(BioBit) based on natural products with the addition of RheoFalt, developed by Ventraco Innovation Centre.

BASF expands the product portfolio with RheoFalt® additives of Ventraco
As of September 2020, BASF has the worldwide distribution rights for RheoFalt® additives manufactured by the Ventraco. The supply of RheoFalt® products to Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands, will still go through Ventraco.
We are proud of this new collaboration. RheoFalt® enables BASF to serve the need for sustainable road construction. The product permits 100% recycling of old asphalt, and has been scoring outstanding results in internal and external tests for 10 years.
Recyclebaar asfalt timmert aan de weg
De natuurlijke hars uit de schillen van cashewnoten zorgen bij verhitting voor een magisch product. Bij verhitting ontstaat namelijk een donkere viskeuze vloeistof. Als je deze gepolymeriseerde vloeibare natuurlijke hars toevoegt aan verouderd asfalt is het opeens oneindig recyclebaar. Jeroen Venema van Ventraco geeft tekst en uitleg.

Recycling Asphalt
RheoFalt HP-AM ensures that aged bitumen with an increased asphaltenes content is again improved to a new value. Rheofalt HP-AM makes it possible to reuse old asphalt for multiple life cycles, time and again for 100%, the LCA is infinite.
Company
Ventraco Innovation Centre offers a complete range of solutions for performance controlled bitumen.
Due to the growing market, VIC develops, tests and distributes many special additives for the asphalt market. These three elements are essential to be a successful and reliable business partner to bitumen producers and asphalt mixing plants and are present in the new company.
