Port environments are among the harshest for asphalt performance — with concentrated axle loads, slow-moving heavy vehicles, and repetitive wheel paths that place immense pressure on pavement durability. These conditions demand binders that can resist rutting and fatigue simultaneously — a rare balance in conventional bitumen products.

Puma Bitumen’s in-house developed hybrid polymer modified binder has been specifically designed for container terminals, port aprons, and heavy-duty freight zones, offering the highest levels of rut resistance while maintaining excellent fatigue tolerance.

🧬 High Modulus, Dual-Performance Design:

• Creates asphalt mixes with a modulus exceeding 6000 MPa, offering superior load distribution and structural integrity

• Proven to deliver better rutting resistance than any other binder on the market, even after 60,000 load passes at 60°C

• Retains crack resistance and flexibility, avoiding the brittleness often seen in highly stiff binders

CarbonBind is Puma Bitumen’s award-winning binder innovation that introduces biogenic materials — naturally derived substances that have sequestered atmospheric carbon — into bitumen without compromising on performance.

These renewable biogenic components are chemically compatible with bitumen and can be blended seamlessly into our product range. The result is a binder that performs to the same high standards as polymer modified bitumen, while delivering a measurable reduction in embodied carbon.

🧪 Backed by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA):

CarbonBind has undergone independent LCA validation, confirming its role in helping road owners and contractors reduce the carbon footprint of their projects, without requiring changes to construction methods, equipment, or quality outcomes.

🌍 The Future of Bitumen, Available Today:

• 🔋 Reduces CO₂ emissions through renewable biogenic content

• 🧱 Compatible with asphalt and spray sealing applications

• 🔧 Maintains PMB-grade performance and durability

• 📉 Contributes to net-zero strategies for councils and road agencies

• 🏆 Award-winning and already making impact across the market

Whether you’re designing roads for the next decade or updating procurement to align with climate goals, CarbonBind offers a credible, drop-in low carbon alternative to traditional bitumen binders — backed by performance, science, and innovation.

Puma Bitumen’s Olexobit SAM and Olexobit MAX are advanced spray sealing binders engineered to maximize chip retention, improve aggregate adhesion, and deliver longer-lasting seals — even under high stress.

Unlike conventional SBS-modified binders, these products are formulated with enhanced cohesion and adhesion properties, reducing the risk of aggregate loss, bleeding, and early seal failure. This performance leap translates to lower lifecycle costs and increased network reliability for asset owners.

🧪 What Makes SAM & MAX Different?

• 🧲 Superior chip adhesion for strong binder–aggregate bonding

• 🧱 Improved cohesion enhances resistance to stone loss and flushing

• 🚜 Designed for high-stress locations such as turning lanes, intersections, roundabouts, and gradients

• 🛢️ Field-proven across thousands of tonnes in use throughout Australia

• 🛣️ Extended spray seal life, reducing the need for early reseals or maintenance

These innovative spray sealing binders are trusted by councils, road agencies, and sealing contractors who want performance without compromise — especially where premium sealing outcomes are required.

Crumb rubber modified binders are valued for their flexibility and resilience, especially in demanding climates and sealing conditions. However, a major barrier to their wider use has been their high viscosity, which often leads to difficulties in pumping and spraying in the field.

S15R LV is Puma Bitumen’s innovative solution — a low viscosity crumb rubber binder designed to improve application ease without sacrificing the proven performance of rubber modification.

🔧 Key Advantages:

• 🧊 Lower viscosity improves sprayability and flow through pump systems

• 🚜 Compatible with standard spray sealing rigs, even in cooler climates

• 🌡️ Allows for lower spray temperatures, reducing energy demand and fumes

• 🛠️ Minimises operational issues in remote locations or tight sealing windows

• 🔄 Maintains flexibility and resilience associated with crumb rubber

For asphalt producers seeking to lower mixing and compaction temperatures without changing plant processes, Puma Bitumen offers a pre-dosed low temperature binder solution using Cargill Anova 1503.

This non-toxic, biogenic, and low-odour liquid additive is added directly into the bitumen, creating a ready-to-use warm mix binder that improves workability, reduces energy use, and minimises emissions.

🌿 Key Benefits of Anova 1503:

• 🧪 Bio-based and non-corrosive – safe for operators and equipment

• 🌫️ Low odour and VOC emissions – improves on-site air quality

• 🔄 Improves workability – enhances compaction at lower temperatures

• ♻️ Energy savings – reduces fuel use during mixing

• 🏭 No need for additive dosing at the plant – ideal for producers without warm mix systems

This warm mix binder is ideal for:

• Asphalt plants seeking a plug-and-play warm mix solution

• Urban projects with tight emission and noise constraints

• Cooler climate paving or night works where compaction is difficult
