There is provided a method for making bituminous compositions comprising water-in-oil bituminous dispersion and aggregate by the steps of: preparing a solvent-free, water-in-oil bituminous dispersion comprising: (1) bitumen, in an amount from about 75.0% to about 95.0% by total weight of the bitumen dispersion; (2) a surfactant in an amount from about 0.05% to about 2.0% by total weight of the bitumen dispersion; and (3) water in an amount to complete the water-in-oil bituminous dispersion, and producing the bituminous composition having a temperature from about 50° C. to about 120° C. by mixing: (1) the water-in-oil bituminous dispersion of step (A), having a temperature from about 75° C. to about 95° C., in an amount from about 2.0% to about 10.0% by total weight of the bituminous composition, and (2) aggregate, having a temperature from about 60° C. to about 140° C., in an amount from about 90.0% to about 98.0% by total weight of the bituminous composition.

An emulsion comprising water as the continuous phase, a wax as the discontinuous phase, an emulsifier and a preservative having the general structure:wherein R1 can be a heterocycle containing nitrogen and sulfur, such as thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, or thiadiazolyl, which can optionally be substituted with C1–C6 alkyl; R2 can be hydrogen or C1–C6 alkyl, specifically hydrogen; n is 0, 1, 2, or 3; each instance of R3 can independently be hydrogen, C1–C6 alkyl, phenoxy, C1–C6 alkoxy, halo, amino, C1–C6 alkylamino, di C1–C6 alkyl amino, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, thienyl, furyl, pyrryl, naphthyl, phenyl, halophenyl, C1–C6 alkyl phenyl, or C1–C6 alkoxyphenyl. The preservative may be added to the emulsion after the emulsion is formed. The emulsion can be incorporated into a gypsum product such as gypsum board or gypsum wood fiber board. The gypsum product may be made by forming a slurry containing gypsum, water, and the emulsion into a solid product. A method for improving the water resistance of a lignocellulosic composite product prepared by mixing lignocellulosic material with a binder to form a mixture and solidifying the mixture in a selected configuration to form the composite product may include adding to the mixture an emulsion as described above.

The invention relates to an environment-friendly road surface ice and snow melt coating material, a preparation method thereof and a using method thereof. Serious consequences such as traffic jam and the like can be caused by snow accumulation in winter; and at present, a snow removal method comprises passive snow removal and active snow removal, wherein in the passive snow removal, the operating efficiency of manual snow removal is low, mechanical snow removal is incomplete relatively in clearing, and for the spreading of a snow melt agent, substances with the snow melt effect are mixed simply only, so the spreading is non-uniform, and the snow melt agent dispersed to peripheral air has the major influence on environment; and the active snow removal is high in cost, and has a certain damage to structures of road surfaces, so the service life of roads is shortened. In the environment-friendly road surface ice and snow melt coating material, after being loaded on a carrier material, the snow melt substances are mixed with emulsified asphalt, water-soluble epoxy resin and a curing agent and sprayed on the road surfaces to form an ice and snow melt coating, so that the roads have the function of melting snow actively. By the environment-friendly road surface ice and snow melt coating material, an ice point of water is reduced to between -5 and -20 DEG C so as to clear the ice and snow of the roads, and the coating material has the sustained-release function, is high in coating adhesivity and wear-resisting effect, low in cost and convenient to maintain, and can prolong the life of the road surfaces effectively.

A shingle and a method of making it is provided in which the rear surface of the shingle is provided with an attached reinforcement layer through which fasteners may be applied when the shingle is applied to a roof.

This invention relates to bituminous compositions and methods of producing the same. More particularly, the invention relates to the production of bituminous compositions formulated with performance-graded bitumen-containing solvent-free bitumen emulsions which exhibit controllable, temperature-dependent interfacial rheology. When employed in paving applications, these bituminous compositions develop adhesive strength and load-bearing strength properties at rates comparable to traditional hot mix paving compositions and at rates faster than traditional cold mix paving compositions.

Cationic aqueous emulsions of rubber modified asphalt cement (RMAC) useable for paving, seal coat, slurry seal, roofing, coating and other applications. First, a RMAC is prepared by combining 45 to 90% by weight asphalt with about 5% to about 55% by weight solid recycled rubber (e.g., crumb rubber from used vehicle tires) under conditions that cause at least a substantial portion of the solid rubber to become liquified or otherwise incorporated into the asphalt. The RMAC may be treated with dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid (DDBSA) which causes reaction(s) to occur and results in a lowering of the viscosity of the RMAC. The RMAC (or DDBSA-treated RMAC) may then be emulsified in an aqueous medium to provide an aqueous emulsion.

A method for repairing an aged or damaged asphalt pavement is provided. The method involves preparing a surface of the aged or damaged asphalt pavement by filling in deviations from a uniform surface plane with dry aggregate and compacting the dry aggregate; applying a reactive asphalt emulsion to the prepared surface; and passing an emitter over the prepared pavement, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from 2-5 mm that penetrates into the pavement to a depth of at least 2 inches. The asphalt pavement is repaired by disturbing voids and interstices in the damaged pavement without dehydrogenation of the asphalt, such that oligomers present in the aged asphalt are linked together into longer polymer chains to improve ductility of the aged asphalt.
