SBS Modified Bitumen
SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) modified bitumen blended to project specifications. The SBS network gives high elasticity, low-temperature flexibility and strong rutting resistance.
Where SBS Modified Bitumen is used
Polymer modified bitumen (PMB) adds elastomers such as SBS, or plastomers such as EVA, to the binder. The result is more elastic, more resistant to rutting and cracking, and longer-lasting.

Conforms to Project specification
Blended to the buyer's specification (polymer content, softening point and elastic recovery agreed per order).

Typical values based on Project specification. The binding specification for each cargo is the certificate of analysis issued at loading. Custom specifications are available on request.
Storing SBS Modified Bitumen
Temperature: Store between about 160°C and 180°C. Polymer-modified binders need slightly higher handling temperatures than plain bitumen.
Agitation: Use tanks with agitators or circulation so the polymer stays evenly dispersed. Unstirred PMB can separate over time.
Safety: Keep water away from hot binder, use heat-resistant PPE, and keep the area ventilated and free of ignition sources.
Shelf life: Plan deliveries to be used within days of arrival where possible. Long hot storage degrades the polymer.
