Since pure bitumen cannot meet the various needs of road construction projects due to its limited rheological behavior, modifications are required based on factors such as the local climate, the road’s slope and curve, traffic volume, and speed.

Improving bitumen component adherence to prevent separation, stripping, and hole formation are the main objectives of bitumen modification.

 

Objectives of bitumen modification:

  1. Improving the adhesion of stone components to avoid separation, stripping and holes formation
  2. Increasing bitumen shear strength and greater resistance of asphalt against rutting in order to avoid unevenness on the asphalt surface.
  3. Increasing the resistance of asphalt against fatigue to avoid the formation of fatigue cracks
  4. Reducing the breaking point of bitumen at low temperature to prevent asphalt cracking
  5. enhancing elastic behavior in bitumen to reduce deformations and unevenness on the road surface

 

Considering that in many regions, PG of pure bitumen is not enough to meet the needs of the projects, so this company offers all kinds of modified polymer bitumen with different PG, including Akabit EL76 polymer bitumen. AkaBit EL76 polymer modified bitumen with PG 76 -16 can be used in many areas, especially hot regions, due to the range of temperature differences that can withstand well and do not damage.
