Polymer-modified asphalt

Polymer-modified asphalt is a type of asphalt used for paving roads that has added polymers—special synthetic materials—to improve its performance. These polymers enhance the asphalt’s flexibility, strength, and durability, making it better at resisting temperature changes, cracking, and rutting over time. The result is a smoother, longer-lasting road surface that can handle heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions more effectively than standard asphalt. This improvement helps reduce maintenance costs and extends the lifespan of paved roads, ensuring safer and more reliable transportation infrastructure.
