Polymer Modified Asphalt

Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA)

is an improved asphalt cement produced by blending either natural polymer (such as natural rubber) or synthetic polymer (such as SBS or EVA). PMA will provide better strength and durability to road surfaces than conventional asphalt cement used in hot mix asphalt (HMA), due to:

  • Higher resistance to wear
  • Higher resistance to rutting
  • Higher elastic recovery at lower/higher temperature
  • Higher cohesion or less reveling
  • Higher resistance to stripping
  • Higher resistance to high temperature preventing bleeding

Its properties are in accordance with the following standard:

TIS 2156-2547

Product Safety & Handling Recommendations:

  • Avoid working or storing near any source of flame or excessive heat.
  • Temperature in storage tanks should not exceed 180°C as the quality may be affected.
  • Storage containers should be dry and clean.
  • Storage containers should be kept separately, and the contents clearly marked.
  • Wear proper protections to protect against potential burns (incl. gloves and goggles).
