Shell Bitumen - Shell Cariphalte Brochure

Shell Cariphalte dense mixture
Designed to handle the most
stressful situations
Our Shell Cariphalte Dense Mixture product
is designed for the most stressful situations,
such as heavy loads and high volume traffic.
Previously known as Cariphalte DM, Shell
Cariphalte Dense Mixture has been a top
performing polymer modified bitumen in the
UK for over 25 years, demonstrating the
benefits of highly modified binders in stressful
situations. In addition to extensive use in
Clause 943 High Performance Hot Rolled
asphalt, Shell Cariphalte Dense Mixture has
been used on bridge decks, in crack relief
systems, Stress Absorbing Membrane
Interfaces and to overlay concrete pavements.
Shell Cariphalte Dense Mixture has
demonstrated success in asphalt mixtures
that require high resistance to permanent
deformation and cracking. Now that’s
a product that’s tough to beat.
Shell Cariphalte fuel resisting
Increased resistance where it’s
needed most
A polymer modified bitumen designed to
provide increased resistance to asphalt
surfaces that may be exposed to petroleumbased
fuels (petrol, diesel and kerosene),
in areas such as airfields, ports, car parks
and bus lanes.
Internal Shell 28 day diesel immersion
tests have shown that Shell Cariphalte Fuel
Resisting can help reduce material loss by
up to 60 times compared to the equivalent
penetration grade binder.

The high cohesive strength of the binder is
designed to allow it to withstand horizontal
sheer forces when a race car accelerates
or brakes into the corner, making Shell
Cariphalte Racetrack the ideal solution.
