Innovative binder additivation

 PmBs

– PmB + Sasobit – New crosslinking (oil extract, silicon

  • xide)

– Maleic anhydride grafted recycled polyethylene treated by irradiation

 Rheology modifier

– Replacement for oxidized bitumen blocks – Packed bitumen for road applications

 PPA: reduction of bitumen oxidative aging:
