Abstract: An asphalt blend in which a butadiene-styrene elastomeric block polymer can easily be dispersed at between about 325.degree. F. and about 400.degree. F. and, after cooling, forms a stable material useful as a roofing composition and having a flash point of greater than about 450.degree. F., said blend being composed of a propane extracted asphalt and from about 5 weight % to about 45 weight % of a fluid bed catalytic petroleum cracker bottoms oil comprising a major proportion of oils boiling above 700.degree. F. and, optionally, a minor proportion of oils between about 350.degree. F. and 700.degree. F.
