Summary
This paper proposes a unique, and proprietary, combination of a polyethylene and an elastomer for the modification of paving asphalts in order to minimize low temperature cracking and reduce rutting at elevated seasonal temperatures under heavy loads. A key objective of the research was to demonstrate the effectiveness of recycled polyethylene (PE) as a material for the modification of paving asphalts. The results indicate that the technology has the potential to create a sustainable downstream market for the safe diversion of large amounts of low grade post consumer polyethylene. Minor contaminants and mixed coloration of these waste materials pose difficulties for many potential applications but show no significant adverse effects on the quality of the modified asphalts. In addition to creating an important outlet for waste plastics, substantial material cost savings are possible over virgin polyethylene.
