CreaMix. Natural fibers for asphalt
Asphalt is America’s most recycled material – with over 95% of reclaimed asphalt pavement put back to use in new road construction annually, according to the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA). CreaMix cellulose fibers are a natural fit for this most sustainable of industries. CreaMix is a recycled cellulose fiber – upcycled from community recycling programs into one of the most sustainable industrial applications in the world. Sourced from raw materials in close proximity to CreaFill manufacturing facility, CreaMix carries one of the smallest carbon footprints of any asphalt fiber additive available today. A recycled fiber contributing to the sustainability of the world’s most recycled composite – CreaMix delivers proven asphalt stabilization performance while advancing the sustainability goals of road builders, pavement contractors, roofing manufacturers, and asphalt producers worldwide.
Why CreaMix for asphalt
CreaMix expands and interlocks within the asphalt mix – forming a three-dimensional fiber matrix that stabilizes the bitumen binder, prevents drain-down, and delivers consistent, long-lasting performance. From Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) and Open Graded Friction Courses (OGFC) to pavement sealcoat and bituminous roof coatings recognized by the Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association (RCMA) – CreaMix is a proven, natural asphalt stabilization fiber performing across every asphalt application worldwide.
ROOF COATINGS AND SEALCOAT
- Crack bridging – Cellulose fibers bridge hairline cracks and splits in roofing substrates – delivering the tensile strength and dimensional stability that fibered roof coatings recognized by the RCMA demand
- Sag and film control – Controls film thickness and prevents sagging during application – particularly critical in cove and vertical surface applications
- Flexibility – Adds flexibility to bituminous roof coatings and waterproofing membranes – preventing cracking under thermal movement and physical impact
- Sealcoat performance – In asphalt emulsion sealcoat, CreaMix adds viscosity, aids in mixing polar and non-polar components, and plays a critical role in the curing process – releasing water to allow the sealcoat to cure evenly and efficiently
ROAD CONSTRUCTION
- Bitumen stabilization — CreaMix fibers expand and interlock within the asphalt mix — forming a three-dimensional matrix that holds the bitumen binder in place and prevents drain-down during production, transport, and compaction
- Drain-down prevention — Monomolecular adhesion between the asphalt cement and the fiber surface creates an interlocking matrix that prevents binder migration — a critical requirement in high binder content mixes such as SMA and OGFC
- Extended pavement life — Reduces rutting, cracking, and fatigue — delivering longer lasting road surfaces and reduced maintenance costs
- Temperature performance — Improves asphalt performance at both high and low temperatures — resisting rutting under heat and cracking in cold conditions
- Reduced tire noise and water spray — The fiber matrix contributes to a smoother, quieter road surface — reducing tire noise and improving road safety through efficient drainage
SUSTAINABILITY
- A recycled fiber in the world’s most recycled material — CreaMix is processed from locally reclaimed paper-based materials — a recycled fiber additive contributing to the sustainability of the world’s most recycled composite. Every ton of CreaMix saves the equivalent of 17 trees
- Smallest carbon footprint — Sourced from raw materials in close proximity to CreaFill manufacturing facility — minimizing transportation emissions and supporting local community recycling programs
- Pure and consistent — Every grade manufactured to specification, tested throughout processing, and shipped with a Certificate of Analysis
CreaMix, recycled cellulose fiber for asphalt
CreaMix is a recycled cellulose fiber – processed from carefully selected reclaimed paper-based raw materials sourced through local community recycling programs. CreaFill upcycles these materials into a high-performance, cost-effective asphalt fiber additive with one of the smallest carbon footprints of any fiber used in asphalt applications today. Every ton of CreaMix saves the equivalent of 17 trees – a direct, measurable contribution to sustainable manufacturing.
