No-Smell Asphalt™

Malarkey Roofing Products™ is a proud provider of No-Smell Asphalt. Unlike cheap imitations, No-Smell Asphalt does not contain a masking agent. Its proprietary Xyclene™ formula is a true odor suppressant that acts at the molecular level as an oxygen scavenger to retard the release of specific odor-causing compounds. The Xyclene formula stops evaporation of lighter petroleum molecules and eliminates odor. It is the best solution to asphalt roofing odors at the kettle and, more important, on the roof. For more information regarding our No-Smell Asphalt and Malarkey Roofing Products' polymer-modified bitumen commercial roll products, visit www.malarkeyroofing.com or call (800) 545-1191.
