INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
FIRST ENVIRONMENTAL PAVEMENT IS A LONG LIFE PAVEMENT, A DIAMOND FOR THE ROADS
INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
QUESTION:
WHAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN ENEMIES OF THE ROAD?
INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
WATER, WATER AND WATER.
WATER PENETRATION IN ASPHALT MIX CHEMICAL ATTACK; RAIN, ICE, SNOW AND WORST + SALT TO ELIMINATE
SNOW DRAINABILITY OF BASE COURSE
SO LETS GO TO WORK ON IT.
INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
• When snow and salt had been spreaded, the pavement is plenty of detached aggregates.ICE
High salt concentration
Snowplows which have blades.
Water resistance
• It is demonstrated that the effect of spread salt on the pavements is very negative.

INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
• The water effect and more if the effect is made by water with salt, produce the lack of cohesion between bitumen and aggregates.
Result: aggregates stripped around the pavements.

INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
• It is neccessary to improve thebitumen-aggregate bonds
• A physical mix achieved bytemperature and mechanicenergy, due to bitumen andaggregates do not work well.

TODAY MAIN IDEA:“innovation is like the branch of a tree, at the beginning you are looking for
something but while you are working you find new innovations”
INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
• SO, working on water resitance we found new improvements
• The better interaction between aggregate – bitumen, the better compaction.
✓ Higher density
✓ Lower period of time, to achieve the optimun density

INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
• Helps compacting in cold weather conditions and improving asphalt properties.
• Same quality and way of working as with conventional bitumen.
• Improved properties:✓Cohesion✓Adhesion✓Better workeability✓Better Immerson – Compresion Test results (ASTM D1075)✓Better Boiling Water Test results (ASTM D3625)

INNOVATION : NANOSTRUCTURED BITUMEN
• Help in Challenges:
✓Transport to projects: Distances are very important, with this bitumen ispossible to cover longer distances or manufacture at lower temperatures withsame distances.
✓Compaction: It is easier to compact with this bitumen due to the compactionwill be fine in less time. Are only needed less passes to compact as with aconventional bitumen.
✓Salt/Ice/Water resistance: pavements life become longer, due to the betterenvolve bitumen-aggregate.
