Asphalt Concrete Mix Incorporating a Chemically Modified Polymer Binder
SEALOFLEX® binder completely replaces the C170 or C320 bitumen currently used in the manufacture of asphaltic concrete. SAMI Bitumen Technologies blends the SEALOFLEX® binder in a purpose made manufacturing plant that includes facilities for thermodynamic, mechanical treatment and chemical modification. The binder is supplied to the asphalt manufacturer at the plant for the manufacture of SEALOFLEX®.
Features and benefits
SEALOFLEX® now offers the engineer the advantage of an A.C. mix with vastly improved mechanical and other properties in terms of service and performance over conventional A.C. mixes.
Improvements include:
- Resistance to permanent deformation and creep deformation (shoving and rutting)
- Fatigue behaviour (relationship between tensile strain and number of load applications to failure) ie. improved crack resistance
- Tensile strength and elastic modulus
- Resistance to crack propagation (reflective cracking)
- Temperature susceptibility (improved performance in higher and lower temperature regions/extremes)
- Stripping resistance
