The Need For Premium Binders
Climatic conditions - Improved balance between low T and high T properties Increasingly aggressive traffic conditions - Heavy vehicles - Slower traffic - Increasing axle loads & tyre pressures - Fuel spillage - Harder grades might increase the risk of low temperature cracking - Need for improved fatigue resistance and flexibility - Need to improve cohesion and adhesion properties Economic issues
-
More durable pavement, longer lasting investments Development of thinner pavements

Pavement Performance
Rheology Cohesion, Adhesion Elasticity Temperature susceptibility Moisture Sensitivity Decrease the viscosity of the bitumen at low service temp - Brings flexibility to the asphalt mix
Increase the viscosity of the bitumen at high service temp - Improve Rutting Resistance

Good elasticity which reduces the tendency for pavements to crack, -durability.
Improved adhesion and cohesion properties for more durable asphalt,
durability.
Higher softening point to resist permanent deformation without adversely affecting the properties of bitumen, durability.
Lower temperature susceptibility for better performance in both high and low temperature environments, durability.
Storage stable due to compatible blend of bitumen and polymer that reduces likelihood of material drifting off-spec during storage, reliability.
Easy handling without major plant change and ease of stock management,
adaptability.
