PAVING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464395 titled 'PAVING COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a paving composition that includes a binder with bitumen, recycled plastic, and a performance enhancement additive. The additive can be a low molecular weight polyolefin, a glycidyl compound, or a combination of both.

  • The paving composition includes bitumen, recycled plastic, and a performance enhancement additive.
  • The performance enhancement additive can be a low molecular weight polyolefin or a glycidyl compound.
  • The low molecular weight polyolefin has a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 30,000 Daltons.
  • The glycidyl compound includes an ethylene glycidyl (meth)acrylate polymer with a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 30,000 Daltons.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in road construction, pavement maintenance, and other infrastructure projects.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

Paving compositions and method of producing the same are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a paving composition includes a binder, where the binder includes bitumen, recycled plastic, and a performance enhancement additive. The performance enhancement additive is selected from the group of low molecular weight polyolefin, a glycidyl compound, and a combination thereof. The low molecular weight polyolefin has a weight average molecular weight of from about 500 to about 30,000 Daltons. The glycidyl compound includes an ethylene glycidyl (meth)acrylate polymer with a weight average molecular weight of from about 500 to about 30,000 Daltons.
