Roofing

Advancements in the roofing industry are driven by the desire to balance low-cost and long-term sustainable solutions with topics like circularity, resilience, climate change, and performance improvements, further intensifying the need for continuous innovation of modified bituminous roofing materials.

Kraton’s diverse polymer portfolio enables the development of long-lasting, cost-effective roofing products that withstand harsh climates and conditions. Our styrenic block copolymers (SBC) are used in modified bituminous roofing materials to provide critical features such as flexibility across a wide temperature range, resistance to thermal degradation, long-term performance, excellent waterproofing properties, ease of application, and enhanced aesthetics. Our styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), and styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS) polymer modifiers form a strong network within the bitumen, enhancing its physical properties and resulting in superior performance roofing materials.
