The Results of the Compromise Task Solution Directed for Development of Polymer-Modified Binder

Abstract

This work presents the results of optimization compositions of polymer-modified binder (PMB) by a compromise task. The conducted study of influence two prescription factors – containing styrene-butadiene-styrene and sulfur – on which is a set of indicators of polymer-bitumen binders were carried out. The regularities of these factors of mutual influence were established by such indicators as the Fraas brittleness temperature, penetration, softening point, ductility. The dosages of SBS and sulfur have been determined by ensuring the achievement of the required level of PBB indicators in accordance with GOST R 52056-2003 «Bitumen-polymer road binders are based on styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers.
