DESCRIPTION: RoadChem™ 106® is an ethylene vinyl acetate polymer designed to improve the rheological properties of asphalt. It has a wide range of compatibility with different asphalts made from different crudes and using different processing methods.
BENEFITS:
Increases softening point 10-20C Gives good low temperature properties Easy to handle and transport Stable ( >30 days) asphalt blends. Easy to compact hot mixes made with asphalt /106 blends. Easy to emulsify asphalt 106 blends
TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: Form: Free flowing beads. Flow rate (dg/min) 20 (ASTM D-1238) Density: 0.941 (ASTM D-792) Softening Point: 260F (ASTM E-28) Hardness Shore A: 85 ( ASTM D-2240) 1% Secant Modulus)psi 8100( ASTM D-638) Elongation at Break % 725 ( ASTM D-638) Storage Life: Indefinite in sealed 50 lb bags.
APPLICATION: Blending: RoadChem™ 106® may be blended easily using conventional equipment.
This includes: Tank mixers High shear colloid mills Tank Circulation systems
TYPICAL FORMULATION: All formulations should be tested in the laboratory before use.
Asphalt should be checked for compatibility by making mixtures in the laboratory. VSS can assist with this process.
A typical formulation for a binder for high deformation resistance will contain 5% by weight RoadChem™ 106® blended with 80/100 pen or other asphalt.( eg 30/40, 50/70, 180/220 or ANY other Grade)
The mix should be designed in accordance with good practice.
SAFETY: RoadChem™ 106® is non hazardous. Refer to the MSDS for further information.
