Abstract

Abstract An improved chip seal method for treating pavement with aqueous asphaltic emulsions is provided wherein the emulsion is a blend of a conventional emulsion adapted for an aqueous asphaltic emulsion is provided in which the dispersed asphaltic material is the prereacted reaction product of asphalt having a viscosity of less than about 120,000 cps (at 140° F.), an acrylamide, a vinyl aromatic monomer and an elastomer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
In a chip seal surface treatment method for pavement maintenance comprising distributing a substantially uniform layer of a rapid setting aqueous asphaltic emulsion on said pavement and then applying an aggregate adapted for chip seal application onto said layer, whereby the emulsion breaks and bonds the aggregate to the asphalt of said emulsion, the improvement comprising blending with said rapid setting emulsion prior to distribution onto said pavement, effective aggregate retention improving amounts of an aqueous emulsion of the prereacted reaction product of an acrylamide, asphalt having a viscosity of less than about 120,000 cps (at 140° F.), a vinyl aromatic monomer and a rubbery polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 106 words
In a chip seal surface treatment method for pavement maintenance comprising distributing a substantially uniform layer of a rapid setting aqueous asphaltic emulsion on said pavement and then applying an aggregate adapted for chip seal application onto said layer, whereby the emulsion breaks and bonds the aggregate to the asphalt of said emulsion, the improvement comprising blending with said rapid setting emulsion prior to distribution onto said pavement, effective aggregate retention improving amounts of an aqueous emulsion of the prereacted reaction product of an acrylamide, asphalt having a viscosity of less than about 120,000 cps (at 140° F.), a vinyl aromatic monomer and a rubbery polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 91 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said acrylamide is a compound of the formula (R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)C═C(R.sub.3)--C(O)N(R.sub.4)(R.sub.5) wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from hydrogen and a C 1 -C 3 alkyl; R 4 and R 5 are independently selected from hydrogen, a C 1 -C 3 alkyl and a radical of the formula --R.sub.6 --N(R.sub.7)(R.sub.8) wherein R 6 is an alkylene group of 1 to 5 carbon atoms and R 7 and R 8 are independently selected from hydrogen or a C 1 -C 3 alkyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 40 words
The method of claim 2 wherein R 4 or R 5 is said radical of the formula --R 6 --N(R 7 )(R 8 ) and wherein said asphalt has a viscosity of less than about 75,000 cps (at 140° F.).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method of claim 3 wherein R 1 and R 2 are hydrogen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 12 words
The method of claim 3 wherein R 6 is ethylene or propylene.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 3 wherein R 3 , R 7 and R 8 are hydrogen or methyl.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 39 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said acrylamide is dimethylaminopropylmethacrylamide, said vinyl aromatic monomer comprises styrene, said asphalt has a viscosity of about 40,000 to about 60,000 cps and said rubbery polymer is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 36 words
The method of claim 3 where said rubbery polymer is natural rubber or a homopolymer of a diene or a copolymer of a diene and an olefinically unsaturated monomer and wherein said vinyl aromatic comprises styrene.
