Key Features

HINCOL Polymer Modified Bitumen 120 isn't just ideally suited for cold climates, but also satisfies the rising demands due to heavy vehicle and traffic volumes on today's roads and runways. HINCOL Polymer Modified Bitumen is manufactured with a specially blended feed, making the binder homogenous and storage stable. It enhances the key properties of asphalt mixes, i.e. deformation resistance and fatigue life. These improvements are the result of three vital physical changes which the polymer makes in the conventional binder structure: reduced temperature susceptibility, increased stiffness modulus and enhanced elasticity.
