SOME KEY FEATURES

Addition of Lucolast 7010 to bitumen increases its viscosity and broadens the range of plasticity. Although the minimum value of the Fraass breaking point of Lucolast 7010 is as low as for unmodified standard bitumen, the ring and ball softening point increases considerably, depending on the proportion of Lucolast 7010 that was added. Penetration values decline accordingly. Ductility determined according to DIN EN 12591 decreases, however, the values ascertained for the so-called ductility at low temperatures are usually more favourable than those for standard bitumen without addition of Lucolast 7010.
