The modified high-viscosity asphalt has raw materials of a base asphalt mixture, an oil slurry, a rubber modifier, modified petroleum resin, an anti-stripping agent, and carbon black powder. The road asphalt patching tape has good high-temperature performance, excellent wear resistance to wheels, a very high friction coefficient and good low-temperature ductility. The road asphalt patching tape can be closely attached to and effectively repair the diseased road surface. In this way, the road asphalt patching tape is compactly connected to the diseased road surface, which can strengthen the diseased road surface, strengthen the overall strength of the cracked area, and prevent diseases, such as turtle shell-shaped cracks, pitted surfaces or the like, from deteriorating into potholes or the like.

Methods are provided for predicting the properties of an asphalt fraction that contains two or more asphalt components based on measurements of the viscosity versus temperature profile for the components of the asphalt fraction. The viscosity versus temperature profile for each component can be used to determine characteristic (such as limiting) values for the viscosity and temperature for a component. Based on this ability to determine characteristic values for an asphalt blend based on the properties of individual blend components, appropriate blends of asphalts can be selected in order to arrive at an asphalt blend with desired properties.

A process for producing blown asphalt comprising the steps of mixing a heated hydrocarbon stream and a supercritical water in to produce a mixed stream, operating the supercritical water reactor to produce a reactor effluent, reducing the temperature of the reactor effluent in the cooler to produce a cooled effluent, feeding the cooled effluent through a depressurizing device to produce a depressurized stream, separating the depressurized stream in the flash drum to produce a light fraction stream and a heavy fraction stream, the heavy fraction stream contains a maltene fraction, an asphaltene fraction, and water, introducing the heavy fraction stream to a storage tank, withdrawing an oxidizing reactor feed from the storage tank, introducing the oxidizing reactor feed to an oxidation reactor, and operating the oxidation reactor at an oxidation temperature and an oxidation pressure to produce a product effluent that comprises an oxidized asphaltene fraction.

A bituminous tile with grit coating may include: a support layer including a base layer made of non-woven glass fiber fabric, having a first major surface to which a glass fiber net is coupled which covers at least 80% of the first major surface; a first external bituminous layer covering the net and the first major surface; a second external bituminous layer covering a second major surface of the base layer, facing away from the first major surface; a grit including ceramized colored mineral granules, covering the second external bituminous layer. A method for producing such a bituminous tile may include: (a) impregnating the support layer at 120-180? C.; (b) covering the impregnated support layer with non-adhesive bituminous compound at 170-210? C. to define the first and second external bituminous layers; (c) depositing the grit on the second external bituminous layer at 120-170? C.; (d) cutting the covered support layer to obtain tiles.

Bitumen granules including at least: bitumen, a compound of general formula R1-(COOH)z (I), a compound of general formula R2-(NH)nCONHX(NHCO)p(NH)n-R3 (II), and a compound of general formula Ar1-RAr2 (III); and a method for producing the bitumen granules and to the use thereof as asphalt binder.

The present invention provides a modified cross-linked polyethylene and a preparation method therefor, and a recycled product and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method for the modified cross-linked polyethylene includes: milling waste cross-linked polyethylene by using a solid-phase force chemical reactor, and then using asphalt as a plasticizer for plasticization to obtain the modified cross-linked polyethylene. The plasticization treatment enables the decross-linked waste cross-linked polyethylene/asphalt material obtained after milling to have excellent processing fluidity, and thus, the decross-linked waste cross-linked polyethylene/asphalt material is suitable for preparing high-performance recycled products in various thermoplastic processing processes. The waste ultrafine cross-linked polyethylene powder subjected to asphalt plasticization can be formed in a compressive force field having a high pressure, and can also be suitable for thermoplastic extrusion processing of a low shear force field. The prepared recycled product has good mechanical properties.

Methods are provided for predicting the properties of an asphalt fraction that contains two or more asphalt components based on measurements of the viscosity versus temperature profile for the components of the asphalt fraction. The viscosity versus temperature profile for each component can be used to determine characteristic (such as limiting) values for the viscosity and temperature for a components. Examples of characteristic values for an asphalt component are the asymptotic values of viscosity at infinite temperature (.sub.inf) and the finite temperature at which the viscosity diverges (T.sub.0). Once these characteristic values are determined, the characteristic values for each component can be combined in a weighted average to determine .sub.inf and T.sub.0 for the asphalt blend. Based on this ability to determine characteristic values for an asphalt blend based on the properties of individual blend components, appropriate blends of asphalts can be selected in order to arrive at an asphalt blend with desired properties.

Organic infrared attenuation agents have been developed to improve the thermal insulation properties of polymeric foams such as polystyrene low density foams. The organic infrared attenuation agents can include polyols such as sorbitol, maltitol, and poly(ethylene glycol), polysaccharides such as starch or cellulose, and infrared attenuation polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate. The organic attenuation agents include aromatic compounds or carbon oxygen bonds that are effective in absorbing infrared radiation at the desired wavelengths.
