Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of road repair materials, and in particular relates to a sand-containing fog seal material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Most of my country's high-grade highways use asphalt concrete pavement. With long-term service, asphalt concrete pavement gradually develops fatigue cracking, aggregate loosening or falling off, decreased blackness, and reduced skid resistance due to traffic load, dynamic water pressure, asphalt aging, and other reasons. This leads to a gradual decline in the appearance of the pavement and driving comfort. If not repaired in time, the pavement will further develop more serious defects such as network cracking and potholes.

[0003] Sand-containing fog seal technology is a technique that uses specialized equipment with high pressure to spray fog seal mixture onto the surface of old roads to form a functional repair layer. This layer seals micro-cracks in the road surface, prevents loose aggregate from falling off, stops water infiltration, slows down asphalt aging, and improves the appearance of the road surface, as well as enhancing driving comfort and safety.

[0004] Pure emulsified asphalt-based sand-containing fog seal materials have poor high-temperature resistance, exhibiting decreased adhesion and poor abrasion resistance under high-temperature conditions. High-temperature resistant resins need to be added, but common high-temperature resistant resins are often two-component materials. These two-component materials require on-site mixing. If rain or other abnormal weather occurs before spraying, preventing normal construction, the mixed material becomes essentially unusable. Furthermore, this material needs timely cleaning from the equipment; if not cleaned promptly, it hardens and is difficult to handle. Existing technologies propose using a mixture of latex and emulsified asphalt to form an adhesive, addressing the drawback of on-site application for two-component materials. However, the density of this latex and emulsified asphalt mixture is relatively low, making it prone to aggregates in the slurry settling due to their higher density, leading to material segregation and stratification. Generally, the bleeding rate is measured after slurry preparation; slurries with a bleeding rate exceeding 1% do not meet construction standards. Using slurries with high bleeding rates as sand-containing fog seal materials will negatively impact subsequent pavement performance, resulting in low bond strength and high wet wheel abrasion.

[0005] Therefore, a sand-containing fog seal material with high slurry cohesion (i.e., low bleeding rate) and high adhesion to the road surface to be repaired is being developed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Purpose of the invention: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sand-containing fog seal material with high slurry cohesion (i.e., low bleeding rate) and high adhesion to the road surface to be repaired, and a method for preparing the same.

Preferably, the mass ratio of cellulose ether to sodium pyrophosphate can be 1:(1-2).

[0014] The method for preparing the above-mentioned sand-containing fog sealing material according to the present invention includes the following steps: adding additives to the adhesive solution and stirring to form a uniform mixture; adding aggregates to the mixture and stirring evenly.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this invention are: the water bleeding rate of the sand-containing mist seal slurry is 0% after 24 hours; the material dries to the surface within half an hour after being applied to the road surface; the bond strength is 2.5-2.8 MPa after three hours at 25℃; the bond strength is 0.8-1.2 MPa after three hours at 50℃; and the wet wheel abrasion value is 21-26 g / m. 2 It features short drying time, excellent high-temperature adhesion, good wear resistance and stability, and can quickly open to traffic after spraying.

[0054] The preparation process of the sand-containing fog sealing material in Example 3 is the same as that in Example 1.

[0055] Performance testing

[0056] The sand-containing fog seal material slurries prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 of this invention, after curing and forming a film, were subjected to performance testing in accordance with the "Technical Requirements for the Quality of Interlayer Bonding of Highway Asphalt Pavement" DB14 / T 647-2012. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0057] Table 7 Performance Comparison Table of Examples and Comparative Examples

[0058]

[0059] As shown in Table 7, the sand-containing fog sealing material prepared by the present invention using specific stabilizers and reinforcing agents has a surface drying time of no more than 30 minutes, a pull-out strength of over 0.9 MPa at 50°C, and a wet wheel abrasion value of no more than 26 g / m. 2 It exhibits good curing properties.

[0060] Based on the performance data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, the slurry obtained in Examples 1-3 all had a 24-hour bleeding rate of 0 at room temperature. However, Comparative Examples 1 and 3, which only added unmodified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, had 2.4% and 2.1% bleeding rates at room temperature, respectively, after 24 hours. This indicates that the slurry with unmodified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose added to the sand-containing fog seal material had a higher bleeding rate, resulting in lower pull-out strengths at 25℃ and 50℃, and higher wet wheel abrasion (reflecting adhesion). Therefore, this invention uses sodium pyrophosphate-modified cellulose ether as a stabilizer. Compared to unmodified cellulose ether, the interfacial tension of the cellulose ether is significantly reduced after modification with sodium pyrophosphate, resulting in better dispersibility in water and less agglomeration. Figure 1 As shown, the cellulose ether modified with sodium pyrophosphate simultaneously enhances the cohesiveness between the components of the prepared sand-containing fog seal material system, avoiding stratification and segregation between the aggregate and the adhesive, and improving the overall dispersion performance of the material system, i.e., uniform dispersion of each component and no bleeding. Furthermore, the cellulose ether modified with sodium pyrophosphate enhances the adhesion between the sand fog seal material and the original pavement to be repaired.

[0061] Based on the above performance data analysis, the reason lies in the combination of oxygen atoms in sodium pyrophosphate and hydrogen atoms in cellulose ether to form multiple hydroxyl groups. This enhances the dispersibility of cellulose ether in the sand-containing fog seal slurry and improves the overall cohesiveness of the slurry. Simultaneously, the phosphate groups in the sodium pyrophosphate-modified cellulose ether promote complexation with metal ions in asphalt concrete aggregates, effectively agglomerating loose aggregates. The polar groups such as hydroxyl and ether bonds strengthen the adhesion between the cured sand-containing fog seal material and the asphalt-based pavement material. Therefore, using sodium pyrophosphate-modified cellulose ether as a stabilizer can reduce the bleeding rate of the sand-containing fog seal slurry, improve the stability of the sand-containing fog seal material, and enhance the adhesion of the material system, achieving higher adhesion to the pavement. Figure 2 As shown, the sand-containing fog seal material has cured into a film in good condition.

[0062] Furthermore, under the condition of stabilizer, when reinforcing agents are added to sand-containing fog seal materials, the phosphate groups in the stabilizer synergistically promote the adhesion of the alkoxy, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups in the interface reinforcing agent to the original road surface and improve wear resistance.

[0063] It should be noted that the raw materials and their contents used in this invention can achieve the technical effects claimed above, therefore, no separate tests are needed to verify each one. For example, the aggregate can be selected from one or more of 20-80 mesh silica powder, limestone powder, and alumina powder. The dispersant can be selected from one or more of octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and dodecylamine polyoxyethylene ether. The film-forming agent can be selected from one or more of dodecyl alcohol ester, hexadecyl alcohol ester, and propylene glycol phenyl ether. The mass ratio of water-based latex to emulsified asphalt can be (0.6-1):(1:0.6). The mass ratio of cellulose ether to sodium pyrophosphate can be 1:(1-2). The mass ratio of calcium hydroxide to ethanol can be 1:(1-2). The amount of tetrabutyl titanate added can be 0.1-0.3 times the mass of calcium hydroxide.
