Modified Bitumen

Traditional bitumen, derived from the distillation and/or blowing of crude oils, possess adequate performance characteristics, but increasing the high temperature performance can sometimes lessen the low temperature performance properties of the bitumen. Modified bitumen are binders whose properties have been changed by the use of a chemical agent that, when added to the original bitumen, alters its chemical structure and physical and/or mechanical properties.

Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB)

Polymer modified bitumen's are high-performance special binders obtained from carefully selected types of bitumen. Their rheological properties are significantly improved by processing in special equipment and by adding suitable polymers in terms of plasticity, cohesion, elasticity and resistance to deformation. Polymer-modified bitumen meets all today's market requirements for high-performance specialty binders because of its increased durability, strength and temperature stability. The optimized mechanical properties of the asphalt mixes produced with it ensure a longer service life with full usability of the road surface. The use of polymer-modified bitumen also optimizes maintenance procedures and increases road safety in the case of "open- pore" layers.

Sturdy, dynamic and strong road development, construction and maintenance for sustaining heavy vehicular movement and high volume of traffic.
Binding layer in sealing cracks of stressed pavements.
High loading Runway for airfield, airplanes, fighter jets, etc.
Roads experiencing higher amplitude in temperature levels.

Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB)

The inclusion of crumb rubber enhances the bitumen's properties, providing excellent elasticity, improved resistance to rutting and cracking, and superior performance at both high and low temperatures. CRMB not only improves the quality and durability of road surfaces but also offers an environmentally friendly solution by recycling waste rubber, thus contributing to sustainable construction practices.

CRMB is an innovative, high-performance bitumen product enriched with finely powdered scrap rubber. This rubber is processed in a reactor at high temperatures, allowing it to blend seamlessly with the bitumen.
