MB1000 Series

MB1000 Series was developed by ART for the booming requirement in the early 2000’s when CRMB and PMB was being introduced. These entry level Modified Bitumens provided a quick sitable fix to issues faced by contractors and surpassed the basic binders in performance, especially in high temperature zones

MB 1600 Extended Weather Bitumen:

ART has also developed a unique grade of Modified Bitumen enhanced with chemical additives that has properties that allow contractors to use continue with HMA production even in slightly wetter conditions. The resultant binder reduces the impact of the monsson projects and allows work to go on for a longer period of time.
