Build better roads with Black Max™ PMA
Cenovus has been on the leading edge of using polymer-modified asphalts (PMA) and branded Black Max™ to deal with the diverse climatic conditions that affect modern roads.
Along with our extensive range of asphalt cements, we continually invest in PMA to help our customers build better roads. PMA is more resistant to rutting and thermal cracking when compared to straight-run, and can be adapted to meet the needs of individual projects.
Creating a legacy of PMA investment
1990: Dr. Ludo Zanzotto helped develop a proof of concept in the first full-scale polymer plant commissioned by Cenovus at the Lloydminster Refinery.
2017: Cenovus Asphalt opens the PMA facility in Edmonton, AB that helped boost our production capabilities.
2020: Cenovus renews our commitment to innovation and investment in PMA from product to process with the Lloydminster Refinery expansion. The project allows Cenovus Asphalt to produce 70,000 cubic metres of PMA, ensuring reliable supply capacity for any project.
2021: Cenovus Asphalt will continue to support PMA in U.S. markets and commit to help build better roads across North America with the return of our Superior Refinery.
