Shell Cariphalte Spray Grade PG 76

Product Specification Sheet

Shell CariphalteTM Spray Grade PG 76 is a premium grade of Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) used for
spray applications for Stress Absorbing Membrane/ Interlayer (SAM/SAMI), tack coat, chip sealing, and
other spray sealing applications. CariphalteTM Spray Grade PG 76 is a Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS)
modified bitumen utilizing the technical and operational expertise of Shell Bitumen. The CariphalteTM
technology ensures the formation of a 3-dimensional network within the PMB resulting in a spray able PMB
for high stress applications.
