Abstract
Provided are a non-volatile room-temperature modified asphalt binder, a non-volatile room-temperature recycled asphalt mixture containing the same, and a method for repairing potholes and cracks using the same. The non-volatile room temperature recycled asphalt mixture according to an example embodiment has improved fluidity, which prevents the occurrence of cracks in existing asphalt, and has the advantages of improved delamination and thermal stability.
Claims13
A non-volatile room-temperature modified asphalt binder comprising:
- a) 0.1 to 30 wt % of petroleum asphalt selected from one or more of straight asphalt and blown asphalt;
- b) 0.1 to 30 wt % of natural asphalt selected from one or more of gilsonite, glance pitch, and grahamite;
- c) 0.1 to 15 wt % of rubber modification compound (RMC) polymer modifier, which is a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer using one or more selected from styrene-butadiene block copolymer (SBS), styrene-isoprene block copolymer (SIS), and styrene-ethylene-butylene block copolymer (SEBS);
- d) 20 to 50 wt % of process oil selected from one or more of paraffin oil, naphthenic oil, aromatic oil, natural oil, and mineral oil;
- e) 0.5 to 30 wt % of adhesion enhancers selected from one of more of rosin ester-based, modified acrylic-based, modified silicone-based, polyvinyl ester-based, and silicone based resin;
- f) 2 to 5 wt % of crack inhibitors selected from one or more of polypropylene glycol and polyethylene glycol;
- g) 0.2 to 0.5 wt % of water-repellent additives selected from one or more of siloxane and silicone oil;
- h) 0.1 to 1 wt % of carboxymethyl cellulose having a carboxylation degree of 0.5 to 1 and a Brookfield viscosity of 3000 to 4000 cps at 25° C.;
- and
- i) 0.1 to 0.5 wt % of carbon nanotubes.
A method for repairing potholes and cracks in a road surface, comprising the steps of:
- 1) operating a road maintenance vehicle to automatically detect potholes and cracks in the road surface;
- 2) introducing non-volatile room-temperature recycled asphalt pouches into the automatically detected potholes and cracks;
- and
- 3) compacting the non-volatile room-temperature recycled asphalt pouches that are placed in potholes and cracks by the tire pressure of vehicles traveling on the road surface.
