A process is provided to prepare a composition of bitumen, carbon black, and a block copolymer, the block copolymer being a hydrogenated or unhydrogenated block copolymer comprising, before hydrogenation, at least two blocks which comprise predominantly polymerized monoalkenyl arenes and at least one block which comprises predominantly polymerized conjugated diolefins. The process involves blending of the carbon black with the block copolymer and then combining the carbon black-block copolymer mixture with bitumen. The product of the process of this invention has excellent storage stability and aged tensile strength properties, and has superior weatherability.
