Optimum Performance - Without the Odor

TruLo Lo Odor AsphaltIntroducing TruLo® Lo Odor asphalt. It takes most of the annoying odor out of every hot asphalt job.

The Sweet Smell of Innovation.

Owens Corning uses a patent-pending technology specifically formulated to neutralize asphalt odor without impacting asphalt performance. Testing shows:

  • A 50% odor reduction in TruLo® Lo Odor asphalt as compared to Trumbull standard asphalt
  • When compared to leading competitive low-odor asphalts and additives, TruLo® Lo Odor asphalt was 45% more effective at reducing odor-causing compounds

Now Odor Doesn't Have to Dictate Scheduling

Many customers are understandably bothered by the odor of typical built-up roofing. TruLo® Lo Odor asphalt:

  • Helps you avoid costly night and weekend work scheduling due to odor issues
  • Was developed to allow BURA to be used for even the most odorsensitive sites, such as schools, restaurants and hospitals
  • Significantly reduces odor complaints

Keep Your Kettle Routine

TruLo® Lo Odor asphalt follows the same kettle processing as standard asphalt—there is no messy, dangerous mixing of additives.

  • Works effectively to control odor both on the roof and at the kettle
  • Available at Trumbull distributor locations nationwide
