Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 03/10/2017 --Global Modified Bitumen Market: Overview
Bitumen, one of the oldest engineering materials known to the mankind, has been used for over a thousand years in ways such as pavement binder sealant, adhesive, and waterproofing agent. Used in ancient times in its natural form, refined bitumen has more recently found a continuous rise in usage, especially in the construction of roads. Refined bitumen can be used in its unblended form when derived from a good crude oil sources and with the use of a proper refinery process.
However, there are limited oil resources capable of producing such high-quality bitumen. Furthermore, there is immense need for enhanced properties such as higher resistance cracking at low temperatures, longer fatigue life, and better resistance to moisture for bitumen to be used across applications that are bound to undergo severe mechanical distresses. These conditions make bitumen modification more of an economic and qualitative necessity.

Global Modified Bitumen Market: Segmentation
Some of the most popular thermoplastic elastomers and plastomers used for bitumen modification are styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), ethylene-butyl acrylate (EBA), polypropylene (PP), styrene-isoprenestyrene (SIS), atactic polypropylene (APP), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), natural rubber, and crumb rubber. Of these, the market for SBS is presently the largest, in terms of both volume and value. The unique properties imparted by SBS to bitumen make it useful across a vast range of industries.
The key end-use sectors utilizing modified bitumen include building construction, road construction, and waterproofing. Of these, the road construction sector is presently the leading contributor to the revenue of the global modified bitumen market. It has been estimated that the over 100 mn tonnes of bitumen used every year across the globe, over 80% is used for constructing a variety of pavements. The trend is expected to remain strong over the near future as well.
