Abstract: The present invention relates to a bituminous composition, comprising a bituminous component and a block copolymer, wherein the block copolymer comprises at least two terminal poly(vinyl aromatic) blocks and at least one poly(conjugated diene) central block, wherein said poly(conjugated diene) central block(s) is (are) obtained by substantially random copolymerization of butadiene and isoprene a molar ratio between butadiene and isoprene in the range or from 1:2 to 9:1; wherein the poly(vinyl aromatic) content (PSC) is in the range of from 20 to 30 wt %, wherein the content of a possibly accompanying diblock comprising a poly(vinyl aromatic) block and a poly(butadiene/isoprene) block is at most 25 mole %, wherein the 1,2-addition (vinyl content) of the polymerized conjugated dienes is in the range of from 10 to 80%, and wherein the apparent molecular weight of the complete block copolymer is in the range of 310,000 to 380,000.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a bituminous composition which comprises a bituminous component (I), a block copolymer (II), comprising at least two terminal blocks of a poly(monovinylaromatic hydrocarbon) and at least one block of a poly(conjugated diene), and optionally a filler (III), wherein (II) is a partially hydrogenated block polymer, comprising butadiene as the conjugated diene, wherein the poly(conjugated diene) block upon partial hydrogenation comprises less than 3 mol % 1,2-dine recurring units (A) and less than 20 mol % preferably less than 3 mol % ethylene recurring units (D), calculated on the total content mol/mol of conjugated diene recurring units.
