Shell Cariphalte

Shell Cariphalte is designed for the most rigorous pavement conditions and longer pavement life. Shell Cariphalte is a specially formulated polymer modified bitumen based on carefully-chosen combinations of bitumen and thermoplastic elastomers which significantly change the way the bitumen behaves. Shell Cariphalte has a proven track record around the globe and was the binder used to pave the Sepang International Formula 1 Circuit near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
