Polymer Modification for Asphalt Binder Systems

Polymer modification is commonly considered when asphalt binder systems require a different balance of flexibility, elasticity and resistance to deformation.

SBR latex provides a water-based polymer option for selected asphalt and bitumen formulations. The synthetic rubber polymer can be incorporated into suitable systems to modify the properties of the binder after formulation and curing.

Role of SBR Latex

SBR latex may contribute to:

  • Flexibility of the modified binder
  • Elastic recovery
  • Binder cohesion
  • Resistance to repeated deformation
  • Crack resistance under selected conditions

The actual result depends on the SBR grade, polymer dosage, bitumen properties, formulation design and processing conditions.

Why High Solid SBR Latex?

High Solid SBR Latex contains a higher polymer solids concentration compared with conventional latex grades. This can help formulators introduce the required polymer dosage while managing the amount of water introduced into the system.

Typical parameters considered during grade selection include solids content, Tg, viscosity, particle characteristics, pH and compatibility with the bitumen system.

Application

High Solid SBR Latex can be evaluated for polymer-modified asphalt, bitumen emulsions, pavement materials and selected waterproofing systems.
