Dual Technology in One Great Product

TruLo Max Low Odor, Low-Fuming AsphaltNew and improved TruLo® Max, the low-odor, low-fuming asphalt that delivers top roofing performance.

More Science. Less Smell.

Owens Corning proprietary odor and fume reduction chemistries significantly reduce asphalt odor. Our unique, dual-technology solution results in:

  • Low odor. Patent-pending technology neutralizes asphalt odor without impacting performance
  • Low fumes. Polymer ingredient forms a fume-suppressing skim layer on the asphalt surface at the kettle
Buildings Magazine Article

Testing shows:

  • A 60% odor reduction in TruLo® Max asphalt as compared to Trumbull standard asphalt
  • When compared to leading competitive low-odor asphalts and additives, TruLo® Max asphalt was 55% more effective at reducing odor-causing compounds
  • TruLo® Max reduces up to 90% of fumes at the kettle*
  • TruLo® Max increases air quality by reducing the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Works Overtime - So You Don't Have To

You'll reduce the need to schedule special night or weekend work for projects such as schools, hospitals or restaurants - places where your customers would be bothered by asphalt odors and fumes.

  • No messy or dangerous additive mixing at the kettle
  • Controls fumes at the kettle and odor on the roof
  • Available in packaged asphalt only
  • Available at Trumbull distributor locations nationwide
  • Call 1-800-GET-PINK™ for the distributor nearest you
