Name of Polymers/Additives	Nomenclature Used in This Study	Type of Polymers/Additives [4]	Percentage of Polymers/Additives	Method of Blending [4]
Amino-Wax Based Additives	-	Amino derivatives in liquid form; Density (25 °C) = 0.95–1.05 g/cm3; Viscosity (25 °C) = 150–250 cP	0.3% by weight of neat bitumen (C320)	Heating of aggregates (145 °C) and bitumen (140 °C) Addition of additives in bitumen + blending for 20 min using a shear mixer Pouring modified bitumen into aggregates + mixing at 140 °C (5 min) Addition of filler into aggregates + mixing at 140 °C for 10 min
Plastomer-Fibres	Fibres Family	Proprietary blend (pellet form) of cellulose/glass fibres and plastomeric (PE) polymers	0.3% by weight of aggregates	Heating of aggregates (180–185 °C) and bitumen (140 °C) Addition of additives into aggregates in mixer + blending at 175–185 °C (10 min) Pouring C320 bitumen into the aggregates + mixing at 175–185 °C (5 min) Addition of filler into the aggregates + mixing at 175–185 °C (10 min)
Elastomer-Fibre		Proprietary blend (pellet form) of cellulose fibres and elastomeric polymers (SBS.)
Plastomers	Plastomers	A compound of polyethylene-based plastomers	6% by weight of neat bitumen (C320)
Commercially available SBS-modified bitumen	Elastomers	Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS); 70:30 styrene/butadiene ration (linear)	Industrially modified with approx. 6% of SBS (by weight of binder)	Heating of aggregates (180–185 °C) and elastomer (SBS) modified bitumen (180 °C) Pouring modified bitumen into the aggregates + mixing at 180–[0–9] at 185 °C (5 min) Addition of filler into the aggregates + mixing at 180–185 °C (10 min)
