This European Standard provides a framework for specifying the characteristics and relevant test methods for
polymer modified bitumens which are suitable for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and
other paved areas.
This framework covers the following characteristics:
"Consistency at intermediate service temperature" (surrogate characteristic: penetration);
"Consistency at elevated service temperature" (surrogate characteristic: softening point);
-- "Cohesion";
-- "Durability" of consistency.
The cohesion property has been included as a means of discriminating between polymer modified bitumens and
other bituminous binders. The other essential requirements, "adhesion" and "setting ability" are indicated by tests
carried out on the finished asphalt mixtures.
The introduction of classes of convenience in Tables 1 and 2 enables the selection of the most suitable
specification for the bitumen taking account of local conditions of climate and use. The nomenclature of polymer
modified bitumens comprises the penetration range and the minimum softening point (see example in Annex A).
