Abstract
A sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition useful for water proofing, damp proofing and roofing applications includes elemental sulfur, a plastomer and an asphalt binder. The sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition can be applied to the surface of a protected member such that the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition contacts, adheres to and forms a layer upon the surface of the protected member. The asphalt binder composition is applied at a temperature no greater than 150° C.
Claims9
A sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition useful for water proofing, damp proofing and roofing applications, a final mixed product of the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition comprising 30% elemental sulfur, 5% plastomer, and 65% asphalt binder, each by total weight of the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition where the elemental sulfur is a free sulfur that is separate from the plastomer before addition of the elemental sulfur to the asphalt binder, and where the plastomer is a homogeneous sulfur-modified polymer.
A damp proof layer having a sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition formed by mixing elemental sulfur, plastomer, and asphalt binder, where the amount of elemental sulfur is at least 20% by total weight of the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition, where the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition has a first side in contact with and adhered to a surface of a protected member and a second side that does not contact the surface of the protected member;
- and where the elemental sulfur is a free sulfur that is separate from the plastomer before addition of the elemental sulfur to the asphalt binder, and where the plastomer is a homogeneous sulfur-modified polymer.
A sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition useful for water proofing, damp proofing and roofing applications, a final mixed product of the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition comprising more than 20% elemental sulfur, about 5% plastomer, and 65%-75% asphalt binder, each by total weight of the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition, wherein the elemental sulfur includes free sulfur that is separate from the plastomer before addition of the elemental sulfur to the asphalt binder, and where the plastomer is a homogeneous sulfur-modified polymer.
