FLEXBIT PE is a low melt option to effectively reduce the oxidation time required to develop BUR I-IV type roofing asphalt grades. FLEXBIT PE allows BUR grades to be achieved without the need for extensive oxidation which creates a brittle substrate.
FLEXBIT PE Benefit Highlights:
- Increased Softening Pointing & Stiffness Modulus
- Compatible with Polymer Modifiers
- No High Shear Blending Required
- Decreased Penetration
- Reduce Viscosity
