Modification of bitumen with polymers is one of the most common ways to improve their properties and costliness.
The article is devoted to the investigation of the effect which is achieved by the secondary polymers and their mixtures on the properties of petroleum bitumen. Bitumen-polymer composite materials with improved physical and mechanical properties and technical and economic indicators have been developed.
The softening temperature of the developed bitumen-polymer compositions and their adhesion to concrete were investigated taking into account the type of polymer additive.
The research has shown that if petroleum bitumen of recycled polymers has been used, mechanical characteristics and thermal integrity get better. It influences directly on the price of bitumen-polymer materials, because it reduces. Several characteristics of the material get higher when the recycled polymers are used.
