Abstract

Emulsions containing 3% polyethylene were stabilized against coalescence in an asphalt medium by low molecular weight virgin polybutadiene and recycled styrene-butadiene stabilizers. The recycled styrene-butadiene steric stabilizer precursor was obtained as a thermo-mechanical devulcanized ground rubber tire in asphalt. The low molecular weight butadiene and styrenebutadiene rubbers were in situ reacted with sulfur in order to increase the compatibility of the stabilizer with the asphalt phase.
