Polymer-modified bitumen for top performing roads
A good road might not turn heads, but there’s more beneath the surface than you’d think.
Well planned, well maintained roads are some of a country’s most critical infrastructure assets. But with greater traffic volumes, shorter maintenance windows and stringent requirements, roads are being put under increasing pressures.
At Shell, we know what it takes to meet the challenges of modern day transport. We’ve spent 50 years developing our polymer-modified bitumen to create dependable, high quality asphalt surfaces for top performing roads. Our premium formula is designed for improved adhesion and durability*, helping to provide a safer, quieter, longer-lasting surface. A great choice whether you’re a government authority looking for long-term solutions, or construction manager looking for a high-performing, workable bitumen.
Bespoke bitumen solutions for your road
No two roads are the same, so you can customise your solution to help minimise odour, improve compaction, or lay roads faster. Whatever it takes to get your road just right. Speak to a Shell representative to discuss your needs today.
