Polymer-Modified Bitumen (PMB)
Description
PMB is enhanced with polymers to improve elasticity, flexibility, and resistance to deformation. It withstands a broader range of temperatures and is highly durable under heavy loads.
Polymers Used
Common polymers include SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) and EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl-Acetate).
Applications
Often used in heavy-duty applications like highways, bridges, and airport runways, as well as in areas with fluctuating temperatures.
