Optimum Performance - Without the Odor
 Introducing 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
