The technical requirements for modified bitumen in the Middle East typically include compliance with ASTM and AASHTO standards, ensuring high performance in extreme temperatures. Key specifications involve the use of polymer modifiers, such as SBS or APP, to enhance elasticity and durability. Additionally, the bitumen must exhibit low temperature flexibility, high temperature stability, and resistance to aging and UV degradation. Quality control measures, including laboratory testing for viscosity and penetration, are also essential to meet regional performance expectations.
