Title: Bitumen Roads protection material
1Bitumen Roads protection material
- It is known to everyone that development of motor
road network in any country reflects the
potential of the country's general economic
development. - In 20th century, roads came to our homes, and at
the present, every second person of us spends a
half of his or her working time as a driver or
passenger. - The roads we take are those enabling us to reach
the necessary place fast and without
time-consuming traffic jams and crashes, and in
many cases this depends on the quality of road
pavement.
2Asphalt millings shows considerable strength,
impermeability and resistance to water, and the
ability of elastic and plastic deformation. It
provides smoothness and elasticity of road
pavement, comparatively noiseless traffic, and
good road grip of wheel tires. Unfortunately,
The asphalt concrete, which is one of the
greatest inventions of mankind unrivalled to the
present time, loses all these positive properties
in 2 to 5 years after the road is built. Since
the advent of asphalt millings, best inventors in
the field of road building have been trying to
prolong the asphalt concrete service life by
using various traditional methods such as
strengthening the material with various polymers
, road pavements impregnation with various oils,
road pavement reinforcement with fabric, etc.
3All the above methods result in sharp increase in
the road pavement cost, and what is even more
important, deteriorate the road pavement
properties such as road grip of wheel tires and
so on. The search of conventional solution aimed
at strengthening the asphalt concrete mixtures
and improvement of repair methods is being
conducted day and night by leading road-building
specialists of the world. However, radical
solutions of this problem require another
approach and another conception. The use of
material TL is exactly such a solution. The new
approach is based on the simplest intention to
seal off the road from the action if factors
causing damage to its pavement. This solution is
a breakthrough in road building and maintenance,
and material TL has corroborated its
serviceability on the roads of Europe, America,
Africa and Asia. The material is unique in its
simple production and easy application.
4TL-2000 is a black liquid single component
micro-bitumen polymer composition asphalt
rejuvenator to be applied to the surface of
asphalt concrete road in a thin layer by pouring
or spraying and subsequent spreading. A thin-film
coating is thus created. The hardening time is 40
to 60 minutes (depending on the ambient
temperature), i.e., in 40 to 60 minutes the road
may be opened for traffic. The method being
proposed is compared with the existing ones in
the table below TL consumption is 0.7 to
1.5kg/m2 depending on the road pavement
condition. Adhesion of the material to the road
surface primarily occurs through chemical
combination with the Bitumen additives The
active gaseous component of TL penetrates into
bulk of asphalt concrete to a depth of 4 cm and
chemically combines with the bitumen forming a
copolymer bitumen composition having the
necessary plastic and elastic properties.
