A polymer/material suggestion... similar to asphalt/bitumen?

[tffy]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find a material with the following qualities... I am hoping someone could offer a suggestion. Thanks in advance!

1) Similar to Asphalt in material properties (elasticity, tackiness), or maybe more elastic and less crack-prone in a solid state.
2) Hopefully less viscous than asphalt in molten state.
3) Something that is more "controlled" than asphalt - something with a more defined and controllable chemical content.
4) The cheaper the better.

Thanks!

Or maybe: Are there any additives that can impart these properties to asphalt?

Yes, this is quite a broad question. Sorry, I did think I may be committing a faux pas. I shall change the other two threads to link to this one. Thanks!

A variety of "elastomeric" products fit your criteria, as best as I can understand them...
