The tests for evaluating penetration at 25 °C (EN 1426) and softening point (EN 1427) were carried out in line with the respective standards using automatic apparatuses. Penetration and softening point tests were conducted with 10 and 4 replicates, respectively.

Dynamic viscosity (EN 13302) was measured using CAP2000 Brookfield rotary viscometer model DV-II+PRO with SC4-27 spindle in temperature increments of 10 °C, with the lowest temperature being 90 °C, the highest 150 °C, and an additional measurement at 135 °C according to AASHTO MP-1. Dynamic viscosity testing was conducted with 2 replicates.

The tests for evaluating conventional properties of the bituminous binders were conducted on non-aged binders.
