Asphalt PMBs

Polymer Modified Binders made for Asphalt

Asphalt pavements today must do more than simply carry traffic — they must resist deformation under high loads, survive harsh climates, and deliver smooth, safe performance for decades. That’s where Polymer Modified Binders (PMBs) come in.

Puma Bitumen’s range of PMBs for asphalt are specially formulated using advanced polymers to enhance binder elasticity, stiffness, and durability. These high-performance binders are designed to extend the life of asphalt pavements, reduce maintenance frequency, and support performance-based specifications in both dense-graded, open-graded, and high modulus asphalt mixes.

Olexobit A5E

A5E in ATS3110

A5E is a hybrid polymer modified binder, formulated to meet the requirements of ATS 3110. It is designed for fatigue-resistant asphalt layers, particularly in long-life pavement structures such as deep lifts or base course layers in heavily trafficked corridors. With a carefully engineered balance of stiffness and elasticity, A5E is ideal where structural integrity and flexibility are both required.

  • 🧵 Excellent rutting resistance

  • 🛠️ Hybrid polymer system suitable for wide climate zones

  • 🛣️ Used in long-life pavement designs, highways, and arterial networks

  • ✅ Complies with ATS 3110 (A5E) classification

Olexobit A10E

A10E in ATS3110

A10E is a heavily SBS-modified binder developed for high-stress and high-performance asphalt surfaces, including airport runways, intersections, bus lanes, and freight corridors. With a high polymer content, A10E offers superior rut resistance, elastic recovery, and long-term durability, even under frequent braking and turning.

  • 💥 Designed for maximum deformation and shear resistance

  • ✈️ Used in airfield pavements

  • 🔄 Outstanding fatigue resistance

  • ✅ ATS 3110-compliant A10E classification

Olexobit A15E

A15E in ATS3110

A15E is a moderately modified polymer binder ideal for dense-graded and open-graded asphalt in areas of heavy traffic, such as major urban arterials, intersections, and roundabouts. It delivers a strong balance of elasticity, rutting resistance, and ease of compaction, making it one of the most widely used PMBs in Australia.

  • 🛣️ Suited for high-traffic roads, intersections, and overlays

  • 🧵 Delivers strong elasticity and flexibility

  • 🔧 Extremely storage stable formulation

  • ✅ Meets ATS 3110 A15E specification

Olexobit A20E

A20E in ATS3110

A20E is a lightly polymer-modified binder, providing uplifted performance for residential areas and urban roads that experience higher-than-usual traffic volumes or light commercial loads. It’s an ideal choice where some polymer benefit is needed, without the stiffness or cost of a heavily modified binder.

  • 🚗 Great for residential and collector roads with truck/bus traffic

  • 🧱 Offers better durability than unmodified binders

  • 🌡️ Performs well across moderate climate zones

  • ✅ ATS 3110 A20E classification

Olexobit A35P

A35P in ATS3110

A35P is a plastomer-modified polymer binder developed for exceptionally high resistance to rutting and deformation, particularly in areas exposed to slow-moving or static heavy loads, such as intersections, truck lanes, port access roads, and industrial facilities.

Unlike elastomer-based binders, A35P delivers high stiffness and structural integrity, helping asphalt resist consolidation and shear without excessive flow, especially in warm climates.

  • 🧱 Maximum resistance to permanent deformation

  • 🔥 Designed for hot climates and heavy-load conditions

  • 🛣️ Suitable for SMA, DGA, and thick-lift industrial pavements

  • ✅ Available to meet ATS 3110

Olexobit A18R

A18R in ATS3110

A18R is a crumb rubber modified PMB formulated for fatigue-prone and flexible asphalt applications, particularly in regional pavements, overlay projects, or network rehabilitation. It combines strong elasticity with the environmental benefits of recycled tyre rubber, contributing to circular economy goals while enhancing pavement performance.

A18R offers a softer, more resilient binder matrix, making it suitable for areas prone to cracking or deflection, without sacrificing structural performance.

  • ♻️ Incorporates recycled rubber from end-of-life tyres

  • 🧵 High fatigue resistance and flexibility in overlays

  • 🛣️ Ideal for regional roads and long-life rehabilitation projects

  • ✅ Compliant with ATS 3110 A18R binder class
