Composite Bitumen

Composite bitumen is a high-performance engineered material made by blending base bitumen with polymers, fibers, or nanomaterials to enhance strength, flexibility, and weather resistance. Unlike conventional bitumen, it resists rutting, cracking, and extreme temperatures, making it ideal for highways, airport runways, and bridges. Though costlier upfront, its long lifespan and reduced maintenance make it a cost-effective choice for modern infrastructure. Green Vision Group supplies premium composite bitumen globally for durable, sustainable construction.

Composite Bitumen, often referred to as Modified Bitumen, is an advanced form of bitumen meticulously designed by blending base bitumen with performance-enhancing additives. These additives typically include polymers like Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) or Atactic Polypropylene (APP), as well as fibers, chemical agents, or fillers, all of which contribute to achieving superior physical and chemical characteristics.

The modification process significantly boosts the performance of conventional bitumen, making it highly resilient in extreme climatic conditions, under heavy loads, and amidst demanding mechanical stresses. Noteworthy features of composite bitumen include excellent elasticity, high resistance to elevated temperatures, enhanced aging durability, and superior bonding properties. Its versatility makes it a preferred choice for high-performance applications such as road construction, roofing membranes, industrial flooring, and waterproofing systems.
