Our laboratory:
quality,
research, future

Control, innovation, and ongoing research.

Our in-house laboratory operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It plays an integral role in every stage of production, from process control to final quality assurance, as well as the research and development of new products.

The Alma Petroli laboratory is equipped with advanced instrumentation for the chemical, physical, and rheological analysis of crude oils, distilled products, and bitumens. It is now part of a select network of industrial and academic laboratories in Europe engaged in research, calibration, and the definition of analytical standards.

Over 50% of the analyses performed are dedicated to research and development, confirming our firm commitment to applied innovation.

Certified and traceable quality

Every raw material and outgoing product undergoes careful testing to ensure quality, regulatory compliance, and traceability.

Our ISO 9001:2015-certified laboratory regularly participates in national and international interlaboratory programs.

All analytical equipment undergoes regular maintenance and calibration to ensure maximum precision and reliability of results.

bitumen.

Research and development for the asphalt of the future

Bitumen lies at the heart of today’s and tomorrow’s challenges, offering high performance, low environmental impact, and durability. To address these challenges, we have established an Innovation and Technology Area devoted entirely to applied research, new product development, and process optimization.

Selected raw materials, results that make the difference

Our strategy begins with the careful selection of raw materials and continues with a process of continuous innovation. This process is driven by our in-depth knowledge of the sector and supported by our highly specialized in-house laboratory. We work closely with our clients to develop customized bitumen solutions that meet their specific application needs. Our approach is geared toward industrial customization.

Concrete innovation.

A broad portfolio built in cooperation with our clients

Through constant dialogue with industry operators, we have built a broad portfolio of field-tested and validated formulations and technical specifications in the field of industrial and oxidized bitumens.
We are a reliable technical partner for companies seeking quality, customization, and support throughout the bitumen supply chain.

The elastomer-modified bitumens produced in the new plant – which was entirely designed by Alma Petroli – are marketed under the FASTDRAINING® brand. These bitumens are the result of years of research and in-depth knowledge of bitumens, polymers, and the rheological behavior of modified bitumen. FASTDRAINING® modified bitumen is the ideal material for our roads, both now and in the future, offering an optimal solution for designing and constructing high-performance, durable conglomerates.
