Embodiments of the present disclosure are generally related to asphalt compositions, and particularly to enhanced asphalt compositions and methods and systems for manufacturing the same. The enhanced asphalt compositions include both a silane additive and a calcium composition. The silane additive includes benzyl alcohol and at least one organosilane. The enhanced asphalt compositions of the present invention have improved anti-stripping properties, but the quantities of calcium composition and silane additive required are less than the quantities necessary to prepare previously known asphalt compositions with improved anti-stripping properties.

All-in-one formulations for preparing repellent coatings on surfaces of substrates include (i) one or more reactive components that can form a bonded layer on a surface in which the bonded layer comprises an array of compound each compound having one end bound to a surface and an opposite end extending away from the surface; (ii) an optional catalyst; (iii) a solvent; and (iv) a lubricant. A repellent coating can be formed from such formulations on substrate surfaces by drying the formulation on the surface to substantially remove the solvent and to form a bonded layer on the surface with the lubricant stably adhered to the bonded layer. The formulations can be applied to surfaces of ceramics, glasses, metals, alloys, composites, polymers or combinations thereof such as ceramic or metal plumbing fixtures, surfaces of glass substrates including mirrors, windshields, windows, surfaces composed of one or more polymers, medical devices such as ostomy appliances, etc.

An aldiminosilane of the formula (I), to the use thereof as adhesion promoters and/or crosslinking agents, and to curable compositions including same. The aldiminosilane of the formula (I) is odorless, pH-neutral, liquid at room temperature, and has a low sensitivity to heat. The hydrolysis of the aldiminosilane proceeds relatively slowly, and the aldiminosilane is highly effective as an adhesion promoter. Furthermore, the aldiminosilane exhibits excellent compatibility with curable compositions based on isocyanates, epoxides, or silanes, whereby such compositions do not exhibit a propensity for migration effects such as bleeding or substrate soiling after being cured. In particular, isocyanate group-containing compositions containing the aldiminosilane of the formula (I) are highly storage-stable regardless of the storage temperature and the isocyanate used.
