Figures 3 and 4 reflect the relationship between Marshall stability and the percent by weight of asphalt and sulfur, respectively. All points shown represent the average of at least three tests. These figures indicate the Marshall stability to be primarily affected by the sulfur content with a tendency to higher values as the sulfur content increases and lower values as the asphalt content increases. This is attributed to the fact that the additional sulfur reduces the voids content, thus enhancing the stiffness of the material. The additional asphalt, on the other hand, also...

Structural Insulation Boards. Stmctural iasulation boards are made by a process similar to that used for iasulation board, with the exception of another additive which provides additional weight, strength, and water resistance. The additive is normally asphalt, which is added ia a... 

Formulas are very simple. For example, in the case of black they often contain no additives and consist merely of pigment, mineral oil, and asphaltic pitch. Low mb inks are available however, due to economics, a traditional type of formulation based on mineral oil and high stmcture carbon black is predominantly used. 

The conditions of pyrolysis either as low or high temperature carbonization, and the type of coal, determine the composition of Hquids produced, known as tars. Humic coals give greater yields of phenol (qv) [108-95-2] (up to 50%), whereas hydrogen-rich coals give more hydrocarbons (qv). The whole tar and distillation fractions are used as fuels and as sources of phenols, or as an additive ia carbonized briquettes. Pitch can be used as a biader for briquettes, for electrode carbon after coking, or for blending with road asphalt (qv). 

Oil field uses are primarily imidazolines for surfactant and corrosion inhibition (see Petroleum). Besides the lubrication market for metal salts, the miscellaneous market is comprised of free acids used ia concrete additives, motor oil lubricants, and asphalt-paving applications (47) (see Asphalt Lubrication AND lubricants). Naphthenic acid has also been studied ia ore flotation for recovery of rare-earth metals (48) (see Flotation Lanthanides). 

The early developments of solvent processing were concerned with the lubricating oil end of the cmde. Solvent extraction processes are appHed to many usefiil separations in the purification of gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, and other oils. In addition, solvent extraction can replace fractionation in many separation processes in the refinery. For example, propane deasphalting (Fig. 7) has replaced, to some extent, vacuum distillation as a means of removing asphalt from reduced cmde oils. 

Eatty bisamides are used primarily to kicrease sHp, reduce blocking, and reduce static ki polymeric systems. Other specialty appHcations kiclude cosolvents or coupling agents for polyamide reskis, fillers for electrical kisulation coatings, additives for asphalt to reduce cold flow, and synthetic waxes for textile treatments (68). Bisamides have been used ki all the traditional primary amide appHcations to kicrease lubricity and have become the amide of choice because of thek better efficiency. Bisamides have the highest commercial value ki the amide market. 

Patty amines and chemical products derived from the amines are used in many industries. Uses for the nitrogen derivatives may be broken down as follows as a percentage of total market fabric softeners (46%), oil field chemicals (15%), asphalt emulsifiers (10%), petroleum additives (10%), mining (4%), and others (15%) (8). 

Sulfur as an Additive for Asphalt. Sulfur-extended asphalt (SEA) binders are formulated by replacing some of the asphalt cement (AC) in conventional binders with sulfur. Binders that have sulfur asphalt weight ratios as high as 50 50 have been used, but most binders contain about 30 wt % sulfur. Greater latitude in design is possible for SEA paving materials, which are three-component systems, whereas conventional asphalt paving materials are two-component systems. Introduction of sulfur can provide some substantial benefits. At temperatures above 130°C, SEA binders have lower viscosities than conventional asphalt. The lower viscosity enables the plant to produce and compact the mix at lower temperatures than with conventional... 

Many existing roads fail because the asphalt becomes stiff and brittle. If the materials are too stiff, additives that lower the viscosity must be used. The feasibihty of usiag sulfur to soften or reduce the viscosity of the oxidized biader ia recycled pavements has been successfully demonstrated by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and others (55—57).

New teipolymers of vinyl acetate with ethylene and carbon monoxide have been prepared and their uses as additives to improve the curing and flexibihty of coating resins, eg, nitrocellulose, asphalt, phenoHcs, and polystyrene, have been described (130—132). Vinyl acetate and vinyUdene cyanide form highly alternating copolymers. 

Substituted Amide Waxes. The product of fatty acid amidation has unique waxlike properties (13). Probably the most widely produced material is N,1S7-distearylethylenediarnine [110-30-5] which has a melting point of ca 140°C, an acid number of ca 7, and a low melt viscosity. Because of its unusuaHy high melting point and unique functionaHty, it is used in additive quantities to raise the apparent melting point of themoplastic resins and asphalts, as an internal—external lubricant in the compounding of a variety of thermoplastic resins, and as a processing aid for elastomers. 

Many agents have been proposed and patented including copper sulfate (34), zinc chloride (35), ferric chloride (36), aluminum chloride (36), and phosphoms pentoxide (37) ferric chloride, zinc chloride, and phosphoms pentoxide have been most widely used. The addition of these agents may vary from 0.1 to 3%, depending upon the feedstock and the desired characteristics of the product (Table 5) and all asphalt feedstocks do not respond to catalysts in the same way. Differences in feedstock composition are important qualifiers in determining the properties of the asphalt product. The important softening point-penetration relationship, which describes the temperature susceptibiUty of an asphalt, also varies with the source of the feedstock. Straight-reduced, air-blown, and air-blown catalytic asphalts from the same cmde feedstock also vary considerably. 

Only those grades of emulsified asphalt in general use have been indicated herein. It is possible that under certain variation of aggregates and/or climatic conditions, additional selections might be appropriate. Where the use of emulsified asphalt for appHcations other than those Hsted in the table are contemplated, the emulsion suppHer should be consulted.
