The Rejuvenating and Aging Performances of Aged SBS Modified Asphalt Treated by Different Rejuvenator Sealer Materials

Abstract:

Currently, rejuvenator seal which is one of the preventive maintenance methods is more widely used due to its economic benefits and convenience. This paper described the chemical and rheological evaluation of the aged styrene butadiene styrene modified asphalt (ASMA) treated by two rejuvenator sealer materials (RSMs). First the ASMA was rejuvenated by mixing with the RSMs. Then the ASMA and two rejuvenated binders were re-aged by 10h PAV test. At last, the new binder, ASMA, rejuvenated ASMAs, re-aged binders were tested by Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that the first aging of the new binder had a significant decrease of the low temperature performance and slight improvement of the high temperature performance. In addition, the high temperature performance increased obviously after 10h PAV test. Two RSMs could significantly soften the aged binder due to increase of maltene content existing in the RSMs, and the rejuvenated binder exhibited a better low performance after the 10h PAV test. However they cannot restore the low temperature completely because that RSMs cannot remedy the degradation of SBS modifier and remove the carbonyl produced in the aging progress.
