Asphalt Rejuvenators

A Contractors perspective

Maltene Based Asphalt Rejuvenator

WHAT IS AN ASPHALT REJUVENATOR?WHAT IS AN ASPHALT REJUVENATOR?

Asphalt consists of two main fractions:

“asphaltenes”which arethe hard brittle component, insoluble and not affected by oxidation and the highly reactive sub-fractions:

“maltenes” These maltenes are oily and resinous in appearance

The Age Of A Pavement Is Not The Primary FactorIn Choosing Candidates For A Rejuvenator Application

The Primary Importance Is The ConditionOf The Pavement

Chemical Composition of Asphalt Chemical Composition of Asphalt CementCement

Asphalt cement consists of five component groups:

Asphaltenes(A), the bodying agent gives asphalt its black color, is hard and brittle like pencil lead.

Maltenes, which provide the cohesive and flexible qualities of the asphalt cement. They are categorized as:

•Polar compounds or Nitrogen bases (N)- components of highly reactive resins, which act as a peptizer for the asphaltenes.•First acidiffins (A1)- components of resinous hydrocarbons which function as a solvent for the peptized asphaltenes.•Second acidiffins (A2)- components of slightly unsaturated hydrocarbons that also serve as a solvent for the peptized asphaltenes.• Paraffins (P) – saturated hydrocarbons, which function as a gelling agent for the asphalt components

This is due to the high heat environment necessary to blend asphalt cement with

stone and get it to the job site in a pliable state.

DeteriorationDeterioration

Substantial chemical changes such as a decrease in penetration number and an increase in viscosity (embrittlement) of the asphalt cement take place during this short mixing period primarily due to the high heat environment.

Requested Testing:Determine the viscosity and penetration of the asphalt binder obtained from the top 3-8-inch of the submitted core samples to determine the affect of the Reclamite® treatment.

Summary of Testing:The cores identified as #1 treated and untreated from each pavement were subjected to testing. The asphalt binder was extracted from the top 3/8-inch of each core and recovered for testing. Viscosities were determined by sliding-plate viscometer. Penetrations were calculated from a nomograph. Test data are reported by Table I.

April 21, 2007Customer: Pavement Technology, Inc. – Colin DuranteProject: JOINTBOND Treatment-Whispering Hills Drive, Nashville, TN Samples Submitted:Four pavement samples, 4” cores, were received. Samples were labeled as: # 1: JOINTBOND Treated (3/15/07) # 2: JOINTBOND Untreated (3/15/07)# 3: JOINTBOND Treated (3/15/07) # 4: JOINTBOND Untreated (3/15/07)Requested Testing:Determine the viscosity at 60ºC, Pa*s, phase angle, complex, elastic and viscous moduli of the asphalt binder obtained from the top 3-8-inch and 3/8-inch to 3/4-inch layer of the submitted core samples to determine the affect of the JOINTBOND treatment.Summary of Testing:The top 3/8” and the 3/8”-3/4” layers of each core specimen were removed separately. The asphalt binder was extracted and recovered from both layers separately by California Test Method 365. Viscosities, Pa*s, phase angle, complex, elastic, and viscous moduli were determined on the recovered asphalt binder using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer as prescribed AASHTO T316 at 60ºC. See Table 1 for test results:Conclusion:Reported data are based on the testing of limited samples submitted as being representative of the treated and untreated pavement.
