KEY BENEFITS OF MODIFYING BITUMEN WITH SOLSTICE TITAN POLYMER

• Meet your sustainability goals: Bitumen modified with Solstice Titan can be produced, mixed, transported, and paved at lower temperatures, resulting in lower emissions throughout the paving process.
• Enhance pavement performance and durability: Solstice Titan provides superior rutting resistance by increasing the lubricity at the bitumen-aggregate interface, facilitating better mixing and compaction. It enhances binder flexibility and adhesion, helping minimize cracking and water-induced damage.
• Drive cost savings: Solstice Titan impacts cost at multiple stages of the paving process. While lower production and compaction temperatures reduce fuel consumption, reduced roller passes decrease labor, equipment usage, and project timelines. Adding Solstice Titan to the mix, eliminates the need for antistripping, cross-linkers and compaction aids. Using less components lead to streamlined formulation, in addition to cost savings.
• Boost operational efficiency: Unlike traditional modifiers, asphalt containing Solstice Titan remains workable at significantly lower temperatures, allowing for greater flexibility and efficiency during production and paving. Asphalt production can be spread evenly over twelve months, avoiding over-capacity plant design to meet peak season demands, resulting in more efficient resource allocation and reduced capital expenditure.
