The additive prevents bitumen bleeding during production, transportation, and loading.  <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                        \n                        <div class=\"add-to-cart-wrapper\">\n                            <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/balticfloc.lv\/en\/produkts\/cellulose-additive-for-asphalt-1-metric-ton\/\">Learn more<\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>                    \n                <\/div>                \n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n<script>\ndocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function () {\n  Fancybox.bind(\".product-details .woocommerce-product-gallery__image a\", {\n    animated: true,\n    showClass: \"fancybox-fadeIn\",\n    hideClass: \"fancybox-fadeOut\",\n  });\n  document.querySelector(\".woocommerce-product-gallery__trigger\")\n    ?.addEventListener(\"click\", function (e) {\n      e.preventDefault();\n      e.stopPropagation();\n\n      const links = document.querySelectorAll(\n        \".product-details .woocommerce-product-gallery__image a\"\n      );\n\n      const items = [...links].map((a) => ({\n        src: a.href,\n        type: \"image\",\n      }));\n\n      Fancybox.show(items);\n    });\n    document.querySelectorAll(\".woocommerce-product-gallery__image\").forEach((box) => {\n        const img = box.querySelector(\"img\");\n        if (!img) return;\n\n        box.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", (e) => {\n            const rect = box.getBoundingClientRect();\n\n            const x = ((e.clientX - rect.left) \/ rect.width) * 100;\n            const y = ((e.clientY - rect.top) \/ rect.height) * 100;\n\n            img.style.transformOrigin = `${x}% ${y}%`;\n            img.style.transform = \"scale(2)\";\n        });\n\n        box.addEventListener(\"mouseleave\", () => {\n            img.style.transform = \"scale(1)\";\n            img.style.transformOrigin = \"center\";\n        });\n    });\n});\n<\/script><section id=\"promo-banner-block_95dcd780dc8b5b58193006c1f6aaf6b1\" class=\"block promo-banner \">\t\n\t<div class=\"grid-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"holder-promo-banner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/balticfloc.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/promo-background-scaled.png\" alt=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid-x grid-padding-x align-center\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cell small-12 large-8\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"promo-banner__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCellulose for asphalt production, made in Latvia\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Choosing a local manufacturer makes it easier to coordinate deliveries with the actual material requirements of the asphalt plant.
