General Asphalt Binder Properties • Adheres well to most rock • Waterproof • Fairly durable • Resistant to reaction with most acids, alkalis, and salts • Temperature sensitive Types and Uses
Asphalt Components Asphalt binder is broken down into 3 components: • Asphaltenes • Dark brown friable solids • Control viscosity and adhesive properties • Resins • Dark solid or semi-solid • Greatly affected by temp. • Disperse the asphaltenes • Oils • Colorless or white liquids • Oxidize and harden into asphaltenes and resin molecules * These three components are Blended to produce asphalt binder of desired properties Types and Uses
Asphalt Types Used in Pavement • Asphalt cement (asphalt binder) • Used for HMA, patching • Asphalt emulsion (residue + water + emulsifying agent) • Used for cold mix & maintenance applications • Asphalt cutback (residue + solvent) • Used for cold mix & maintenance applications Types and Uses
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) • HMA = Asphalt concrete = binder + aggregate • Used mainly for hot mix pavement surfacing • Asphalt concrete • Asphalt paving mix • Asphalt mix • Asphalt • Bituminous concrete • Bituminous paving mix • Bituminous mix Types and Uses
Cutback Asphalts Rapid Curing (RC) Asphalt + Naphtha Surface Treatment RC - 30 RC - 70 RC - 250 RC - 800 Medium Curing (MC) Asphalt + Kerosene Stockpile Patch Prime Coat MC - 30 MC - 70 MC - 250 MC - 800 Slow Curing (SC) Asphalt + Oil SC - 70 SC - 250 SC - 800 SC - 3000 Types and Uses
CUTBACKS - USES • Rapid Curing • Tack coats • Surface treatments • Medium curing • Prime coats • Stockpile patching materials • Road Mixing Operations • Slow curing • Prime Coats • Stockpiling • Road mixing Types and Uses
EMULSIONS - USES • Slow Setting (SS) • Tack coats, fog seals, dense-graded cold mixes • Medium Setting (MS) • Open graded cold asphalt-aggregate mixtures • Rapid Setting • Surface treatments Types and Uses
