PROpolymer ensures cost efficiency and quality

The use of modifiers allows for a reduction in the raw material cost of asphalt concrete mixes (by replacing polymer-bitumen binder (PBB) in the recipe with road petroleum bitumen and adding a modifier to the mix) and significantly enhances the operational characteristics of the asphalt concrete covering to extend the lifespan of the road surface. These enhancements include:

Strength: Adding a modifier to the asphalt concrete mix increases the strength and durability of the asphalt concrete, resulting in extended maintenance intervals.

Crack Resistance: PROpolymer modifiers enhance the crack resistance of road surfaces. This contributes to a reduction in the number of accidents and facilitates the maintenance of road infrastructure.

Water Resistance: PROpolymer enhances the water resistance of road surfaces. This increases road safety and reduces repair costs, as water is unable to penetrate the material of the road surface and degrade its properties.

UV Resistance: PROpolymer modifiers enhance the asphalt's resistance to ultraviolet radiation, improving visual comfort on road segments and ensuring the color stability of the road surface.

Elasticity: The addition of PROpolymer modifiers increases the elasticity of road surfaces. This enhances shock absorption during vehicle movement and improves road safety.

The use of PROpolymer modifiers not only achieves high-quality surfacing but also positively impacts the economic effect, ranging from 4 to 17%. This improvement is based on the reduction of raw material costs (by replacing polymer-bitumen binders (PBB) in the asphalt concrete mix recipe with conventional bitumen containing PROpolymer) and the volume of general production expenses.
