<strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Cariphalte</strong><br />

Abilities stand out<br />
increased traffic, a greater number<br />
of heavy goods vehicles on the road<br />
and climatic variations – all these<br />
factors are severely testing our road<br />
infrastructure and have led to one clear<br />
observation: conventional bitumen<br />
does not always meet the needs of<br />
modern roads. this problem demands<br />
solutions adapted to present and future<br />
road needs, whilst complying with<br />
european product standards.<br />
<strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Bitumen</strong> has designed the <strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Cariphalte</strong> polymer<br />
modified bitumen range to provide solutions for all types of roads.<br />
<strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Cariphalte</strong> technology, the product of 40 years’ expertise and<br />
continual development, has earned us an international reputation.<br />
Our know-how, supply capability, service standards and reputation<br />
all help make <strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Bitumen</strong> an ideal partner.<br />
Selecting a bitumen supplier is often determined by the material’s<br />
reliability and durability. However, there can be no substitute for<br />
supply reliability and we have an extensive global and regional<br />
bitumen supply network. Helping you to benefit from a reliable<br />
supply and complete projects on schedule. That’s why the products<br />
in the <strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Cariphalte</strong> range are in demand worldwide, from<br />
motorways to airfields and even Formula One racetracks!<br />
Disruption to traffic flow during maintenance work constitutes a<br />
significant proportion of the cost of roadworks. The use of polymer<br />
modified bitumen offers a solution – by helping to reduce the<br />
frequency of maintenance required at particular locations and to<br />
provide an increased service life for maintenance treatments.<br />
<strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Cariphalte</strong> polymer modified binders are manufactured by<br />
blending selected high performing polymers with carefully chosen<br />
base bitumen. This allows <strong>Shell</strong> <strong>Cariphalte</strong> to be used in challenging<br />
situations, where increased performance is required. It is formulated<br />
to offer improved resistance to deformation and fatigue of the<br />
asphalt and to provide better adhesion between bitumen and<br />
aggregate compared to conventional bitumen.<br />

maximise performance, minimise risk!
