A process for making a colored composite pavement structure comprising silylated glass aggregate particles and a polymeric binder composition is disclosed. Systems and methods are also disclosed for providing a colored composite material that cures into a pavement structure. In one embodiment, a colorant concentrate is provided by combining an inorganic colorant with a portion of a first component of a polymeric binder composition. The colorant concentrate can then be combined with the first and second components of the polymeric binder composition to provide a colored polymeric binder composition. The colored polymeric binder composition may then be applied to silylated glass aggregate particles to provide a colored composite material that cures into a pavement structure.

A method produces a composite material using a mixing system. The composite material comprises at least one aggregate, e.g. rock and/or glass, and the reaction product of a two-component polymeric binder composition comprising a first component, e.g. an isocyanate component, and a second component, e.g. an isocyanate-reactive component. The mixing system includes a mixing apparatus. The method includes the step of providing the aggregate, the first component and the second component into the mixing apparatus. The method further includes the step of mixing the first and second components to produce the reaction product of the two-component polymeric binder composition, and the step of applying the reaction product of the two-component polymeric binder composition to the aggregate within the mixing apparatus to produce the composite material. The composite material can be used for forming a paved structure, such as a sidewalk or a roadway.

A mobile apparatus for the repair of potholes in an asphalt paved surface comprises first storage bin for the containment of recycled shingle particles or recycled asphalt or combinations thereof. A first conveyor is provided for conveying the particles from the first storage bin to an inlet of a radiant heated transport mixing conveyor. A second storage bin is provided for the containment of stone aggregate. A second conveyor conveys and pre-heats the stone aggregate to the inlet of the transport mixing conveyor. An oil reservoir has a pump at an outlet thereof for feeding a predetermined quantity of asphaltic oil at the inlet of the mixing conveyor. The mixing conveyor has vanes for displacing, mixing and heating the stone aggregate, the recycled asphalt particles or recycled asphalt and the asphaltic oil to produce an asphalt patch material and feeding same to a dispensing outlet.

The subject invention provides a portable warm asphalt preparation apparatus and a process for the production of warm asphalt. In addition to a source of granular plastic and a source of mineral aggregate that, together form an asphalt feed material, the apparatus comprises a first receptacle having an inlet for introducing the asphalt feed material into a chamber, a floor at an inclined plane, and an outlet for discharging asphalt from the chamber. A source of heat supplies heat to the asphalt feed material. The apparatus also has a conveyer for mixing the asphalt feed material and transporting a resultant warm mixture towards the outlet. The apparatus further comprises a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature within the chamber, and a controller that activates or deactivates the heater based on input from the temperature sensor.
