Study on Viscosity Evaluation of Foamed Epoxy Asphalt

Abstract:

Foamed epoxy asphalt, which is a kind of epoxy asphalt with a brand-new curing system, has excellent construction performance. Based on the change of viscosity-temperature curves, several mixing amounts of new anhydride curing agents used in B-component of epoxy asphalt have been proposed. Through adjusting the content variation of B component to make the viscosity meet curing conditions. Meanwhile, the curing system formula has been improved by monitoring the viscosity change in the curing process, which can effectively slow down the curing reaction, make the performance of foamed epoxy asphalt achieve the construction requirements, and also provide enough time to complete mixing, paving and rolling in the process of construction. Material A1, A2, N1, and American ChemCo epoxy asphalt was studied by viscosity tests.
