Adventus Materials operates a fully equipped laboratory in Cowpens, South Carolina, suitable for helping you achieve your product development goals and objectives. We can provide expert advice, services, and capabilities that bridge the gap between expensive university research projects and basic fee-for-service testing laboratories.


  • Custom evaluations of new raw materials for use in asphalt binders and crack sealants
  • Custom formulation and testing of binders, sealants, and hot melt adhesives
  • Full asphalt binder Performance Grading (PG) per AASHTO M320 protocols
  • Asphalt binder characterization and testing using historical AASHTO protocols of penetration, viscosity, softening point, and ductility
  • Rolling thin Film Oven Aging (RTFO) and Pressure Aging Vessel Aging (PAV)
  • Analysis of data/results and development of professional grade reports and presentations

As a privately operated company laboratory, we can provide customized evaluations and results in days or a few weeks, depending on the complexity of your specific project. We understand that in product development, time is money. We are able to provide these services at a very reasonable cost due to limited overhead.
