The BATT LAB — your one-stop shop for all binder testing, certification, product development, and more

The BATT Lab team consists of National Binder Tech Certified (NBTC) professionals who research, test, and analyze binder formulations in an AASHTO-accredited lab that utilizes state-of-the-art equipment backed by exacting procedures and decades of engineering expertise.

Whatever the need, BATT can handle it. We test and certify binders to ensure compliance with AASHTO 320 or M332 specifications — and we can provide the certified test results within your needed timeframe.

The BATT Lab has assisted with product development of binders and additives for companies like Surface Tech, BASF and Uberbinder. We provide a full complement of blending capabilities, from basic shearing to high shear. We can help you formulate and test the final product to get it market ready.

If you’re looking for a reliable, accurate forensic analysis, look no further than the BATT team. Our analysis procedures and experience have uncovered the source of premature pavement failure for manyclients, and we provide third party dispute support to settle discrepancies.

Our team of binder experts relentlessly pursue consistency in testing and analysis, relying on years of experience, knowledge, and calibration to produce accurate, reliable results for our clients. Constant attention to detail and continuous improvement are the hallmarks of BATT Lab operations.

Soon, look for us to expand our lab facilities to include new equipment and capabilities. We recently added the Asphalt Scuff Tester to enable our team to test the durability of asphalt surfaces, including paints, seals, and coatings.

Our BATT principles are the key to our success. We strive to conduct all business with integrity and want to make sure that the best knowledge is used. We set high expectations for ourselves and have the openness to challenge the status quo.

If you operate your own lab, look to BATT for binder lab training and lab audits to ensure your procedures and equipment are meeting spec. We can help your lab team learn the various testing procedures and how to test with confidence.
