11 de julio de 2026Diego Herrera1 min

Modified petroleum bitumen is a type of bitumen whose quality is significantly enhanced through the strategic incorporation of various additives. These typically include polymers, rubber crumb, specialized adhesive substances, sulfur, and other reinforcing components. The primary purpose of these modifications is to impart superior performance characteristics, such as increased elasticity, improved durability, enhanced resistance to temperature fluctuations, and better adhesion properties, making it suitable for a wider range of demanding applications.
