Properties & Benefits
Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) is enhanced by adding one or more types of polymers to improve its mechanical and physical properties. Following are the properties of PMB:
Improved Elasticity
PMB can recover its original shape after deformation, which reduces rutting and fatigue cracking
Higher Softening Point
It withstands higher temperatures without softening, making it suitable for hot climates
Low Temperature Flexibility
It remains flexible in cold climates, reducing the risk of thermal cracking
Enhanced Adhesion
PMB bonds better with aggregates, improving pavement durability
Resistance to Aging and Water Damage
PMB resists oxidation, UV degradation, and water penetration better than conventional bitumen
Greater Fatigue and Rutting Resistance
It can handle repeated heavy traffic loads and stress at scale without significant damage
Applications
PMB is suitable for applications such as bituminous wear course, SAM, SAMI to tailor-made modified bitumen for special applications and can handle up to 15% elastomeric and plastomeric polymers/crumb rubber.
Following are the applications of PMB:
Heavy traffic roads, highways, intersections, and high-stress areas like bus terminals and roundabouts
Bridges and flyovers where temperature-induced expansion and contraction are significant
Roads and pavements that are subject to extreme weather conditions
Roofing and waterproofing applications
