Summary:
The use of asphalt modifiers has gained popularity for one reason. Agencies are not satisfied with the performance of
readily available asphalts. Many situations require more closely defined characteristics than have historically been used
for paving asphalts. As we become more able to identify our needs in an asphaltic binder, the modification of available
asphalts is indicated. You have been introduced to asphalt modifiers and additives through seminars, trade publications
and industry literature. These modifiers and additives are manufactured to improve one or more properties of the
binder. The use of Polymerized Asphalt Cements seems to indicate the best solution to broad spectrum problems in hot
mix pavements.
