Recommendation and Method of Application

# Synthetic pigmentable polymer modified clear binders have the advantage that a bright colored asphalt can be achieved with relatively little (1-1.5%) pigment. This is in contrast to conventional black bitumen with which a dark color is still obtained with 5% (powder) pigment.

## It is fed as a dry granulated material through a hopper for granular materials or manually. Feeding into bitumen boiler for further melting is not recommended can impede binder moving through a pipe. Batch period, including binder granules and pigment feeding, their melting and homogeneous mixing takes 1.5-2.5 minutes per batch, depending on the system.

* The rate of application depends on the desired level of coloring, between 30 - 50 Kg per ton of asphalt mix.

** Thorough mixing ensures pigments are evenly coated across aggregates and binder, delivering consistent color uniformity across all batches to minimize visible joints on large projects.
