Two Types of Asphalt• Natural Asphalts: Occurs in geologic strata
as both soft and hard asphalt material.
• Petroleum Asphalts: Colloidally dispersed hydrocarbons in crude petroleum and are obtained by refining crudes.

Asphalt versus Tar
• Asphalt Cement (bitumen): Naturally occurring or produced by petroleum distillation– asphalt pavements– driveway sealcoats – roofing shingles
• Tar: Naturally occurring or manufactured by distillation of coal – Coal tar is listed at number 1999 in the United Nations
list of dangerous goods

Trinidad Lake Asphalt

Background
• First US hot mix asphalt (HMA) constructed in 1870’s– Pennsylvania Ave– Used naturally occurring asphalt from surface of lake
on Island of Trinidad
• Demand for paved roads exceeded the supply of lake asphalts in late 1800’s– Led to use of petroleum asphalts
![Page 14: Lecture 1 Asphalt Cement Introduction (2)(1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5695d5681a28ab9b02a54241/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Asphalt Components• Asphaltenes
– Large, discrete solid inclusions (black)– High viscosity component
• Resins– Semi-sold or solid at room temperature– Fluid when heated– Brittle when cold
• Oils– Colorless liquid– Soluble in most solvents– Allows asphalt to flow

Crude Petroleum Variation• Can vary significantly, resulting in very different levels of
performance.• American Petroleum Institute– API Gravity (60º F) = [141.5/specific gravity] - 131.5– API Gravity of Water is 10.– Low API gravities (<25) have relatively low %’s of distillable
overhead fractions & high %’s of asphalt cement. These crudes are known as heavy crudes. If they contain a lot of sulfur, they are known as sour.
– High API gravities are the converse. Are known as light crudes. If they contain little sulfur, they are known as sweet.

Asphalt Types
• Asphalt cements– Generally refinery produced materials– Air blown asphalt cements
• Cutbacks– Asphalt cements “cut” with petroleum solvents
• Emulsions – Mixture of asphalt cement, water, and emulsifying
agent
![Page 20: Lecture 1 Asphalt Cement Introduction (2)(1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5695d5681a28ab9b02a54241/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Air-Blowing• Air blowing is used to increase the viscosity of the
vacuum resids.• Used for roofing industry products (batch
blowing).• Used to “improve” the temperature susceptibility
of asphalt cements (continuous blowing).
Oxidization is occurring.
![Page 21: Lecture 1 Asphalt Cement Introduction (2)(1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5695d5681a28ab9b02a54241/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cutbacks = Asphalt + Solvent
• Rapid-Curing (RC): Gasoline or naptha• High volatility of solvent• Tack coats, surface treatments
• Medium-Curing (MC): Kerosene• Moderate volatility• Stockpile patching mix
• Slow Curing (SC): Road oils• Low volatility• Prime coat, dust control
![Page 22: Lecture 1 Asphalt Cement Introduction (2)(1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062411/5695d5681a28ab9b02a54241/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Emulsions = Asphalt + H20 + Emulsifying agent
• Emulsifier gives surface charge to asphalt droplets suspended in water medium
• Selection of emulsifier type is dependent upon aggregate used (electrical charge)
• Asphalt Emulsions are needed to “set” or “break” Anionic Emulsion (-) Cationic Emulsion (+)

drawn through a capillary tube with a vacuum.– (flow time) x (viscometer calibration) = poises
• Kinematic– Viscosity at 135ºC– Measured in cm2/sec = stokes (centistokes)
• Abs. Visc. = Kin. Visc.(in stokes)x spec. gr.
