What can be achieved with Licomont® BS 100
As was already mentioned, it’s possible to modify the bitumen. The modification gives more hardness to the asphalt
to prevent sinkings in the road. There are basically two types of additives for modifying bitumen:
Soft
-30 0 30 60 90 120 150
Temperature °C
Bitumen 70/100
Bitumen 70/100 + 3 % Licomont BS 100

After a short period of deflection there is no further penetration of the modified bitumen while the
penetration of the non-modified bitumen goes on and on.
