Modified Bitumen: Durable Solutions for Modern Infrastructure
Modified bitumen has emerged as a key material in the construction and roofing industries, known for its enhanced performance characteristics over traditional asphalt. By blending standard bitumen with polymers such as atactic polypropylene (APP) or styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), modified bitumen gains superior elasticity, weather resistance, and lifespan—making it ideal for applications that demand durability and flexibility.
Key Applications
Roofing: The largest segment, where modified bitumen membranes are used in both commercial and residential buildings for waterproofing and UV protection.
Paving: Roads and highways benefit from improved fatigue resistance and lower maintenance cycles.
Waterproofing: Used in bridges, basements, and tunnels due to its superior water repellency and adhesion.
