EFFECT OF PROCESSING TEMPERATURE VARIATION ON STORAGE STABILITY OF TIRE RUBBER MODIFIED BINDERS

2012

Tire Rubber Modified Binders (TR-MBs), produced through wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have been demonstrated to provide various benefits to pavements and, moreover, represent a good opportunity for recycling tire rubber. However, this technology is still struggling to be fully adopted in Europe, mainly because of the poor stability of TR-MBs during high temperature storage, which leads to high initial costs in modifying existing asphalt plants. No-agitation TR-MBs (also known as terminal blends) are proving to be a great option and their development could also be the key to spreading the use of tire rubber in paving applications in Europe. This paper aims to enrich t…
