RoadChem™ 104® EVA

VSS ASPHALT TECHNOLOGIES DATA SHEET VER: 1.0 --PRODUCT INFORMATION>

DESCRIPTION:
RoadChem™ 104® is an ethylene vinyl acetate polymer designed to improve the rheological properties of asphalt. It has a wide range of compatibility with different asphalts made from different crudes and using different processing methods.

BENEFITS:
  • Increases softening point 10-20C
  • Gives good low temperature properties
  • Easy to handle and transport
  • Stable ( >30 days) asphalt blends.
  • Easy to compact hot mixes made with asphalt /104 blends.

APPLICATION:
Blending: RoadChem™ 104® may be blended easily using conventional equipment.
This includes: tank mixers, high shear colloid mills, circulation in tanker trucks


TYPICAL FORMULATION:
All formulations should be tested in the laboratory before use.
Asphalt should be checked for compatibility by making mixtures in the laboratory. VSS can assist with this process.
A typical formulation for a binder for high deformation resistance will contain 5% by weight RoadChem™ 104® blended with 80/100 pen or other asphalt.
The mix should be designed in accordance with good practice.

SAFETY:
RoadChem™ 104® is non hazardous. Refer to the MSDS for further information.
