Polymer Modified Bitumen Plants - Asphalt Plants and Bitumen Processing

A polymer modified bitumen plant is a special facility and part of the process—an essential one—in producing polymer-modified bitumen that will later be used in creating more robust asphalts for many construction applications. This process involves the addition of specific polymer additives into the bitumen for the attainment of superior performance characteristics in terms of improved durability, flexibility, and resistance to deformation. PMB is used in the construction of roads and other critical infrastructure such as airport runways, where the pavement undergoes heavy traffic, adverse weather conditions, or any other punishing environment. A Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant produces bitumen that will be stalwart enough to meet the requirements of the new, more demanding infrastructure projects. The addition of polymers to bitumen will allow the plant to come up with a product that is resistant not only to traffic pressure in high-traffic areas but also to structure wear over time.
