Lucofin® 1492M HG Europe
Lucofin® 1492M HG is a chemically modified polyethylene, i.e. EBA grafted with maleic anhydride (MA). Lucofin 1492M HG exhibits boosted levels of polarity due to the MAH grafting in comparison to the base EBA copolymer. Thus, it is excellently suited for applications that require increased polarity levels. Product advantages - Simplified processing when used on standard processing equipment - Improved adhesion to various materials - Good compatibilty to many additives - Good filler acceptance - environmentally friendly Applications Lucofin 1492 HG maleic anhydride modified EBA offers excellent adhesion to polar materials.

Lucolast® 7010 Europe
Product description Lucolast 7010 is a polar copolymer consisting of ethylene and butyl acrylate with low crystallinity. Product properties 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. Product advantages Compared with other standard binder Lucolast 7010 displays significant advantages in improving resistance to deformation. Rut formation tests at high temperatures demonstrated that asphalt can bear a two- to three-fold load when modifying it with thermoplastics or altering binder viscosity by adding Lucolast 7010. This does not impair the low-temperature performance of Lucolast 7010, but rather improves it. Applications Even relatively small amounts of PmB based on Lucolast 7010 in asphalt mixtures improve: - resistance to mechanical stress, in particular deformation and wear - stability / rigidity and reduce the tendency to flow when hot and under load - low temperature flexibility - ageing behaviour Examples for application: - s-wearing courses to ZTV-Asphalt - StB - poured asphalt, also on sloping surfaces (ramps) - stone mastic asphalt - special asphalt surfaces, e.g. porous asphalt - thin bituminous wearing courses (hot laying)

Lucolast® 7010AC is a polar copolymer consisting of ethylene and butyl acrylate with low crystallinity. Product properties Addition of Lucolast® 7010AC to bitumen increases the range its viscosity and broadens the range of plasticity. Depending on the proportion of Lucolast® 7010AC that was added the minimum value of the Fraass breaking point of Lucolast® 7010AC modified bitumen decreases and the ring and ball softening point increases. Penetration values decline accordingly. Ductility determined according to DIN EN 12591 decreas-es, however, the values ascertained for the so-called ductility at low temperatures are more favourable than those for standard bitumen with-out addition of Lucobit 1710AC.
