Effect of Non-Sulfur Stabilizer on Performance of SBS Modified Bitumen

Abstract:

Based on the reason that SBS modified bitumen (SMB) with sulfur stabilizer is easy to degrade during aging, a novel non-sulfur stabilizer, P-benzoquinone oxime (GMF), was used to modify SMB. The effects of GMF and sulfur stabilizer on the thermal storage stability, low-temperature performance and aging resistance of SMB were investigated. The results indicate that GMF is more beneficial to improve the thermal storage stability, the low temperature flexibility and softening point of SMB than that of sulfur. And GMF can restrain the degradation of the low temperature flexibility of SMB after thermal aging as compared with sulfur. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicates that the aging growth index of GMF/SBS modified bitumen is 33.5% lower than that of sulfur/SBS modified bitumen after aging. Fluorescence microscope proves that the addition of GMF can prevent the destruction of cross-linking network structure of SBS in bitumen during aging process, which also demonstrates that GMF can improve the aging resistance of SMB. Therefore, GMF can be more suitable as a stabilizer for SMB.
