Products

• Stiffen binder and asphalt mix at high temperatures to reduce rutting

• Soften binder at low service temperature

• Allow asphalt to recover after loading

• Recovery allows asphalt to withstand pavement distresses

• Improve fatigue resistance

• Improve durability with thicker asphalt binder films

• Reduce moisture damage

• Resistance to moisture

Storage:

• PMBs are generally a stable product but they are prone to separation due to multiple reheating cycles during storage.

• It is necessary for PMB to be stored in rock wool insulated storage tanks with controlled oil heating system and motorized automatic oil valves to set the desired temperature

• Provide sufficient no agitators (bottom up) with automatic control and agitation time setting to ensure homogenous dispersion of polymer and bitumen, to avoid phase separation.

• For short term storage for up to 72 hours 160- 180 °C

• For intermediate storage (72-120 hours), drop the temperature gradually to between 150 - 180° C with agitation

• For long term storage (More than 120 hours) switch off

Mixing and Compaction Temp:

• Mixing and compaction temperatures from the binder's viscosity temperature chart or from supplier recommendation

• The manufacturers recommended mixing temperature varies between 165-175° c

• The recommended compaction temperature is not less than 140° C

Health & Safety:

• Refer to safety data sheet

Warning Against

• Contamination during transportn

• Direct flame for heating road tankers or PMB storage tanks

• Torch heating of tanker discharge pipe and valve
