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.
When SBR latex is introduced into a bitumen emulsion, several factors need to be evaluated:
High Solid SBR Latex can be considered where the formulation requires a higher polymer solids concentration.
Depending on the formulation, SBR modification may support:
The final properties should be evaluated through laboratory testing based on the specific bitumen and application system.
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.
