Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention concerns anti-stripping additives for asphalt compositions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of petroleum residuum such as asphalt as a paving material and other construction material is well known. It is also well known that it is desirable to include in such compositions anti-stripping additives so as to reduce the tendency of the paving material which consists of the asphalt and an aggregate material from deteriorating during inclement weather conditions. During the winter months, the low temperatures tend to stiffen and reduce the flexibility of the asphalt binder in the paving material. Traffic loadings then cause the pavement to crack. When that happens, surface water can easily seep into the pavement. As the water goes through freeze-thaw cycles, it strips the asphalt from the aggregate surfaces, reduces the pavement's strength and accelerates deterioration. During the summer months, high temperatures can cause the asphalt pavement to become so soft that traffic can permanently deform the material and create shoving, rutting, bleeding and flushing problems. The incorporation of an anti-stripping additive into the asphalt composition employed in preparing the pavement increases the life of the pavement. It would be desirable to have anti-stripping additives for asphalt which improves its adhesion to the aggregate material.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention pertains to a composition which comprises a blend of

(A) bituminous material and (B) the product resulting from reacting at conditions sufficient to complete the reaction of (1) at least one phosphorus-containing compound represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbyl group having from 1 to about 20 carbon atoms; (2) at least one material selected from (a) at least one organic amine; (b) at least one organic polyamine; (c) at least one hydrohalide salt of an organic amine; (d) at least one hydrohalide salt of an organic polyamine; or (e) a combination of any two or more of (a), (b), (c) or (d); and (3) at least one carbonyl-containing compound which will react with the phosphorus-containing compound; wherein components (1), (2) and (3) are employed in quantities which provide a ratio of carbonyl groups:phosphorus atoms :amine hydrogen atoms of from about 0.1:0.1:1 to about 2:1.5:1; and wherein components (A) and (B) are employed in quantities which provide from about 0.05 to about 10 percent by weight of component (B) based upon the weight of component (A).

The present invention provides anti-stripping additives for asphalt which improves its adhesion to the aggregate material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The bituminous material employed herein in the practice of the present invention is not critical. Any bitumen, asphalt or crude residuum containing alphaltenes can be employed. U.S. Pat. No. 3,317,447 contains a good description of useful bituminous materials which are useful herein and is incorporated herein by reference. In general, the asphalts which can be employed include conventional petroleum asphalts, natural asphalts, gilsonite, air blown asphalts, coal tar and other similar materials. The asphalts are characterized by having penetration grades up to 300 as measured by ASTM Method D5. Preferred asphalts are the normal paving asphalts (e.g. AC5, AC10, AC20, and AC30. AC indicates asphalt cement and the number indicates the viscosity at 140.degree. F. in poise divided by 100).

The anti-stripping agent, component (B) is employed in amounts which provide from about 0.05 to about 10, suitably from about 0.25 to about 5, more suitably from about 0.5 to about 2.5, most suitably from about 0.5 to about 1, percent by weight of anti-stripping agent based upon the weight of the bituminous material, component (A).

EXAMPLE 7

The anti-stripping additives or agents prepared in examples 1-6 are mixed with asphalt and the resultant blend is then mixed with an aggregate and subjected to a boil test and a freeze-thaw test. A description of the tests are as follows and the results are given in the Table. In these tests, AC-20 type asphalt obtained from Texas Cosden Oil & Chemical Co. is employed. Five siliceous aggregates which have shown signs of serious stripping problems are tested. The names and the origins and silicon contents of these aggregates are:

Davidson (Ga., 81% Si) Gifford-Hill (Bryan, Tex., 100% Si) Waco (Waco, Tex., 98% Si) Granite (Calif., 61% Si) Helms (Nev., 63% Si)

BOIL TEST

Preparation of Mixtures

In order to minimize the effect of aggregate interlock while maximizing the bond between the aggregate and the asphalt cement, each individual aggregate is first wet sieved to obtain the portion that passes No. 8 sieve and retained on No. 20 sieve (U.S. standard testing sieve series, ASTM E-11). Then 100 g of this size dry aggregate is heated to 160.degree. C. plus or minus 3.degree. C. for at least 2 hours. The asphalt cement (6 g) with 60 mg of anti-stripping additive is heated and stirred at 160.degree. C. for 5 minutes. At the appropriate time, the hot dry aggregate is poured into the asphalt and mixed manually on a hot plate as rapidly and thoroughly as possible for 5 minutes. This mixture is then allowed to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before testing.

Test Procedure

A 1-liter beaker is filled with 500 ml deionized water and heated to boiling. The prepared aggregate-asphalt mixture is added to the boiling water which temporarily lowers the temperature below the boiling point. The heat is then increased so that the water reboiled in approximately 2 to 3 minutes. The water is maintained at the boiling temperature for 10 minutes while stirring with a glass rod at 3-minute intervals. During and after boiling, the stripped asphalt is skimmed away from the water surface with a paper towel to prevent recoating the aggregate. The mixture is then poured onto a paper towel and allowed to dry. The amount of asphalt retained on the mixture is determined by visual rating expressed in terms of percent of retained asphalt. To standardize this evaluation, a set of 10 sample mixtures representing a scale of from 0 to 100 percent asphalt retention is prepared. By referring to these standard mixtures, the percent of asphalt retained on the aggregate is determined. An additive is considered to pass the boil test when an aggregate retains more than 70% of the original quantity of the mixture of additive and asphalt previously coated onto the aggregate.

FREEZE-THAW TEST

Preparation of Mixtures

In order to minimize the effect of aggregate interlock while maximizing the bond between the aggregate and the asphalt cement, each individual aggregate is first wet sieved to obtain the portion that passes No. 20 sieve and retained on No. 35 sieve (U.S. standard testing sieve series, ASTM E-11). Then 46 g of this aggregate is heated at 160.degree. C. plus or minus 3.degree. C. for at least 2 hours. Three grams of asphalt cement containing 1% by weight of the anti-stripping additive is mixed at 160.degree. C. for 5 minutes. At the appropriate time, the hot aggregate is added to the asphalt and manually mixed as thoroughly and rapidly as possible for 5 minutes. This mixture is then allowed to cool at room temperature for over 30 minutes before compaction of the specimen is begun. The specimen is then compacted by reheating the asphalt concrete mixture at 150.degree. C. for 20 minutes, then transferring the mixture to a steel molding cylinder with a 41.33 mm inside diameter and compacting by applying a constant load of 6200 lbs. (2812.32 kg) which corresponds to a force of 27.6 kN for 7 minutes. Generally, 46 g of each individual aggregate will produce a compacted briquet with a uniform height of 19.05 mm, plus or minus 0.127 mm. After compaction, the briquet is extracted from the mold and allowed to cool and cure at room temperature for two days before freeze-thaw cycling.

Test Procedure

The briquet is placed on a cone shaped stress pedestal with only the center of the briquet bottom touching the pedestal. This entire assembly is then placed in a jar with enough distilled water to fill the jar to about one-half inch (12.7 mm) above the test briquet. The jar is then placed in a freezer at a temperature of -12.degree. C. for 15 hours. After this period, the jar is then transferred to a 50.degree. C. oven for 9 hours. At the end of each complete freeze-thaw cycle, the briquet is carefully examined for the appearance of surface cracks. If no cracks are visible, the briquet is subjected to subsequent freeze-thaw cycles until cracks are observed or the test terminated. An additive is considered to pass the freeze-thaw test when the briquet with additive passes more freeze-thaw cycles than the briquet with no additive. A particularly useful additive is one whose briquet passes twenty-five or more freeze-thaw cycles.
