Roads

Polymer modification of bitumen with Kraton® polymers is an effective and widely used method of improving road performance and road life expectancy. Kraton Polymers is the world’s leading producer of styrenic block copolymers for the roads industry with its range of Kraton D polymers successfully applied in many road, runway and race track projects around the world.

Damaged roads are a safety hazard and an inconvenience. Larger volumes of heavier traffic are speeding up the wearing process, while demands from the general public for safer, faster and more comfortable travel are on the increase. A tough challenge for the roads industry to meet.

Kraton polymers give key advantages to bitumen-based roads that can significantly reduce climate and traffic-induced damage, leading to fewer disruptions for maintenance, and improved ride safety and comfort.
