Polymer Modified bitumen : Laboratory Evaluation , construction guidelines And Field Experience Gayle N. King, Chief Chemist, Elf asphalt , Inc. Helen W. King, Laboratory Supervisor, Elf asphalt , Inc. Presented to the Third International Road Federation Middle East Regional Meeting, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, February, 1988. 1 Polymer Modified bitumen : Laboratory Evaluation , construction guidelines AND FIELD EXPERIENCE ABSTRACT The abundance of asphalt compatible polymers now available makes it possible to improve almost every aspect of paving. It is crucial, however, that the various physical characteristics, construction constraints, and ultimate cost-benefits be understood. To this end, numerous standards for quality testing and specification are under development. Comparative Polymer Modified bitumen trials are currently being planned and executed in many states. Recently polymers have been used for dense-and open-graded hot mix, hot and cold recycling, hot applied and emulsion surface treatments, stress absorbing membranes, slurry seals, joint sealants, and patching materials.
