Resins are essential components of clear binders as they enhance the mechanical properties and durability of the mixture while preserving transparency. Once
incorporated into clear binders, resins increase stiffness, enabling the asphalt mixture to resist heavy traffic and environmental stresses without deformation. They also improve the binder’s adhesive qualities, ensuring a strong bond with the aggregate — an essential factor for the long-term performance and stability of the pavement.
