Quik-Melt Asphalt Bricks
Since 1994, Mid-States Quik-Melt Asphalt has been helping contractors across the country save time and money, all while providing a safer working environment for their roofers. We package traditional roofing asphalt into a manageable and compact 50lb brick that’s proving to be more than just easy to work with. It’s actually changing the way top contractors view and estimate their built-up roofing (BUR) projects.
Here’s what you can expect when you switch to Quik-Melt.
Safer Work Environment
With Quik-Melt, the entire, lightweight asphalt brick can go directly from the truck to the kettle – without ever being unwrapped. At 350º F, the wrapper completely melts away. Now, the need to chop asphalt is a thing of the past.
Cleaner Kettles
Contractors who use Quik-Melt notice a reduction in kettle maintenance. With Quik-Melt, the actual asphalt never touches the ground. Just double check the melt-away wrapper for debris, and there will be little or no ground contamination introduced into the kettle. The result: a cleaner, safer kettle with less maintenance and down time.
Faster Job Setup and Takedown
Quik-Melt is packaged to be convenient before and after the job: there’s no packaging to remove that delays you from firing up the kettle on the front end, and there’s no waste to slow down your post-project clean-up. As a bonus, asphalt related dump fees are all but eliminated.
TruLo® Max - Low Odor, Low - Fuming Asphalt
TruLo® Max is the low-odor, low-fuming asphalt that delivers top roofing performance. The patent-pending technology not only neutralizes asphalt odor but also reduces up to 90% of the fumes at the kettle. (NIOSH Study). When compared to leading competitive low-odor asphalts and additives, TruLo® Max asphalt is 55% more effective at reducing odor-causing compounds. That’s because it was developed for use at even the most odor-sensitive sites like schools, restaurants, and hospitals.

TruLo® Lo Odor – Low Odor Asphalt
TruLo® Lo Odor Asphalt takes the most annoying odor out of every hot asphalt job. Maybe that’s why it’s now the industry standard that other roofing products are measured against. And it measures up – when compared to leading competitive low-odor asphalts and additives, TruLo® Lo Odor asphalt was 45% more effective at reducing odor-causing compounds. All of these product advances help you avoid costly, odor-borne scheduling issues like night and weekend work.
