Bitumen Hybrid MB
Overview: Hybrid MB is a next-generation binder that combines SBS and EVA polymer systems to provide enhanced elasticity, adhesion, and fatigue resistance.
It is specifically formulated for high-load pavements, airports, and climate-sensitive infrastructure, ensuring a long pavement life with minimal deformation or cracking.
Indicative properties:
- Penetration @ 25°C (0.1 mm): 30–70 (AASHTO T49)
- Softening Point (°C): ≥70 (AASHTO T53)
- Density @ 25°C (g/cm³): ≤1.2 (AASHTO T228)
- Flash Point (°C): ≥220 (AASHTO T48)
- Elastic Recovery @ 25°C (%): ≥70 (ASTM D6084)
- Change of Mass after TFOT (%): ≤1.0 (AASHTO T47)
These characteristics ensure stable performance during mixing, laying, and service life, even under harsh climatic stress.
Applications:
- Highways and expressways exposed to high traffic volumes
- Airports and container terminals demanding rutting and fatigue resistance
- Bridge decks and waterproofing membranes requiring strong adhesion
- Urban pavements under frequent load cycling
