SBR Polymer for Water-Based Bitumen Systems

Bitumen emulsions provide a water-based approach for handling and applying bitumen in various construction applications. Polymer modification can be incorporated into selected emulsion systems to adjust the properties of the final binder.

SBR latex is one polymer option used in water-based bitumen formulations.

Formulation Considerations

When SBR latex is introduced into a bitumen emulsion, several factors need to be evaluated:

  • Latex stability
  • Polymer solids content
  • SBR Tg
  • Bitumen compatibility
  • Polymer dosage
  • Emulsion stability
  • Mixing sequence
  • Curing conditions

High Solid SBR Latex can be considered where the formulation requires a higher polymer solids concentration.

Potential Benefits

Depending on the formulation, SBR modification may support:

  • Flexibility
  • Elastic recovery
  • Binder cohesion
  • Resistance to deformation
  • Crack resistance

The final properties should be evaluated through laboratory testing based on the specific bitumen and application system.

Applications

High Solid SBR Latex may be evaluated in polymer-modified bitumen emulsions for road construction, pavement maintenance, waterproofing and related construction materials.

RUICO provides SBR latex grades for customers working on water-based bitumen and polymer-modified systems.
