Summary:
Iowa State University researchers have developed formulations to use bio-derived materials as flux and/or rejuvenators for using vacuum tower bottoms (VTB) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in warm mix asphalt.
Development Stage:
Description:
Heated bodied linseed oil and partially hydrogenated heated bodied linseed oil were used as flux and/or rejuvenators for asphalt binders made from vacuum tower bottoms (VTB). These bio-derived materials were able to improve the binder performance grade from 76-10 to PG 70-22 and PG 64-22 grades. As VTB is at a distinct price advantage over other binder materials, use of this material as a flux results in a significant decrease in costs.
Advantage:
• Large improvement in usability of VTB as an asphalt binder
• Applicable to warm mix asphalt that includes RAP at a lower price than other rejuvenators
• Bio-derived materials
Application:
Warm mix asphalt paving
