SoyLei

Get to know APEX 1132™

Our soy-based technologies are engineered at the molecular level to interact directly with asphalt — not just dilute it. These molecules are designed to be chemically attracted to asphalt components, enabling both physical compatibility and controlled reactivity that restores performance rather than simply softening the binder.

We help refineries increase fuel and lubricant yield by shifting heavy residues into higher-value paving asphalt. For producers and agencies, our additives enable higher use of recycled materials like RAP and RAS while maintaining or improving pavement durability. By restoring aged binder at the source, treated materials re-enter the supply chain as a higher-quality recycling stream rather than a downgraded input. For homeowners, our roof treatments extend service life and delay costly replacement.

The result is more efficient use of every barrel and every ton — less waste, longer-lasting infrastructure and lower lifecycle cost across roads and roofs.

Why APEX-1132™ is different

APEX-1132 is a 5:1 modified soybean-oil concentrate engineered to penetrate asphalt shingles, restore shingle flexibility, improve granule adhesion and reactivate the asphalt in the shingle adhesive seal strip so shingles stay sealed, held down, resist blow-off and help extend roof life.

Built from SESO — semi-epoxidized soybean oil — APEX-1132 is not simply emulsified biodiesel or raw vegetable oil. The original Iowa State University chemical and civil engineering team behind the technology continues to research, design, formulate, manufacture and support the product directly.

Why roofs age

Asphalt shingles usually fail one granule at a time.

Sun, heat, oxygen, rain and freeze-thaw cycles gradually age the asphalt binder inside shingles. As the binder gets drier and more brittle, shingles lose flexibility and shed the protective granules that shield the roof surface.

APEX-1132 targets that binder problem. Instead of acting like a paint, roof coating or short-term color refresh, it is designed to penetrate compatible asphalt shingles and help restore the flexibility and granule hold that aging roofs lose over time.

Shop APEX-1132 to restore your flexibility.


What it does

Roof maintenance that works beneath the surface.

APEX-1132 is for asphalt shingles that are aging but still structurally sound. It is a spray-applied rejuvenation treatment, not a replacement for repairs or a film-forming roof coating. 

  • Restores flexibility: Helps dry, aged shingles bend instead of cracking so quickly, supporting better performance under everyday roof movement and weather exposure.
  • Improves granule adhesion: Helps shingles hold the protective grit that shields asphalt from sunlight, weathering and surface wear.
  • Treats without a coating film: APEX-1132 is a penetrating shingle rejuvenation treatment. It is not paint, not a roof coating and not a cosmetic-only color refresh.
