Shell desktop dash - take the challenge
Shell bitumen can connect you to a range of products to help you gain competitive advantage.
Durability
If durability is key, we offer Shell Cariphalte designed to provide improved performance compared to conventional bitumen, with the benefit of more than 40 years of our expertise in polymer modified binders.
Lower odour
If you’re looking to be a good neighbour in the community, we offer Shell Bitumen Fresh. This uses a new technology to neutralise odour generated during asphalt manufacture and laying rather than mask it.
Reduced energy
If you’re looking to reduce your energy consumption during road construction, there’s Shell WAM® Foam process with over 10 years of technical expertise behind it. This process uses less energy and can reduce CO2 emissions during asphalt manufacturing and laying by up to 35%1.
Improved safety
For safety, we offer Shell Mexphalte C, a clear binder for use in coloured asphalts. This is ideal for use in tunnels to create a light coloured asphalt for improved visibility, or alternatively to create a more durable2 demarcation for traffic segmentation in bus and cycle lanes. It’s an area in which we have more than 40 years experience in clear binder technology.
Productivity
Plus when improved productivity is important, our Shell S-Grades’ advanced viscosity technology is designed to help accelerate productivity, which can allow roads to be opened to traffic sooner.
