Morphological and Flame Retardant Behaviors of Rubber-Modified Asphalt

Abstract:

Rubber modified asphalt mixtures were prepared by reaction of asphalt by chemical mixing with waste rubber. The fundamental properties like homogeneity, thermal etc. of the modified asphalt mixture was investigated by using different techniques like SEM, TGA, DSC analyses etc. The flame retardancy of mixtures was investigated LOI tester. Results shows that antimony oxide is marginally better fire retardancy to asphalt blends than magnesium oxide Mg(OH)2
