Abstract
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method comprising mixing at least one compatibilizer precursor with at least one polymer, so as to result in a polymer concentrate and mixing the polymer concentrate with asphalt, so as to result in a polymer modified asphalt (“PMA”). Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to formulations comprising a compatibilizer precursor, a polymer concentrate, PMA, or any combination thereof.

A method comprising:
- mixing at least one compatibilizer precursor with at least one polymer, so as to result in a polymer concentrate,
- wherein the at least one compatibilizer precursor comprises at least one paraffinic oil, at least one petroleum extract, at least one naphthenic oil, at least one aromatic oil, at least one re-refined engine oil bottom (REOB), at least one engine oil residue (EOR), at least one re-refined heavy vacuum distillation bottom (RHVDB), at least one re-refined heavy vacuum distillation oil (RHVDO), at least one re-refined vacuum tower bottom (RVTB), at least one vacuum tower bottom (VTB), or any combination thereof;
- wherein the at least one polymer is mixed with the at least one compatibilizer precursor in a weight ratio of the at least one polymer to the at least one compatibilizer precursor of 1:100 to 2:1;
- mixing the polymer concentrate with asphalt in a mixer to form a polymer modified asphalt (“PMA”).
