Investigation of the effects of Wax Additives On the asphalt binder
Abstract
Abstract: To reduce energy consumption and protect the environment, warm asphalt has been used widely in recent years. In this paper, Brookfield rotational viscometer test and dynamic mechanical analysis method are employed to investigate the effect of a kind of commercial wax named RH on the properties of two types of asphalt namely 60/70 and 80/100. It can be found that this kind of wax can increase the value of softening point, decrease complex modulus, and anti-rutting factor and increase the value of the penetration and the phase angle. The RH-modified asphalt has a lower viscosity, compared with the original sample.
