Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of transport and urban development infrastructures, in particular clear or colored coatings with clear binders. More particularly, the present invention relates to a clear binder composition comprising one or more copolymers of ethylene and alkyl acrylate having a melt index greater than 2.5 g/10min and a melting temperature greater than 85° vs. The use of such copolymers allows the application of coatings at lowered temperatures while giving them good resistance to permanent deformation at the temperatures of use.
- bituminous binders used in road construction, are black in color and are therefore difficult to color. This inability to color bituminous binders is explained by the black color of asphaltenes which are compounds intrinsically present in bitumens.
- Coatings based on clear binders make it possible to produce mixes whose color is that of the granular materials which constitute them or possibly a colored color by adding pigments.
- Users of urban roads are particularly sensitive to the color of the surfaces on which they travel. Color provides an essential aspect for the harmonious integration of pavements into their environment, but also facilitates their readability.
- these products are also appreciated for certain specific uses: in paving of tunnels or underpasses, they save lighting and improve visibility, and therefore safety; in the wearing course of engineering structures, they make it possible to reduce the temperature reached by the covering exposed to the sun and thus to limit the thermal stresses on the deck of the structure; finally, in urban areas, they make it possible to limit the surface temperature of the coating and thus contribute to the fight against urban heat islands.
- Clear or colored coatings are based on the use of synthetic coating binders with the same characteristics as conventional bitumens but without having the black color. These synthetic binders, made from components of petroleum origin, do not contain asphaltenes and thus have a clear, translucent, transparent appearance in a thin film.
- the clear binders of the prior art generally consist of a mixture of petroleum oils, petroleum hydrocarbon resins and polymers. However, the clear binders known to those skilled in the art must be heated to temperatures between 150° C. and 200° C. in order to mix them with solid mineral particles also heated in this same temperature range. Manufacturing at these temperatures allows good fluidity of the composition and workability suitable for mechanized or manual application on site.
- the coating applied on site is generally at a temperature above 140-150°C, which results in significant smoke emissions.
- the manufacturing temperature, and therefore the application temperature, of these clear coatings significant workability problems are observed.
- the use of elastomers of the poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene) (SBS) or styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) type in the binders of the prior art leads to a filamentous character of the binders when the temperature drops below 120-130°C and the coating is handled. This filamentous nature makes the application of clear binders impossible at lower temperature given the rapid decrease in the temperature of the coating during application on site.
- the filamentous character means that the binder becomes more viscous and forms threads between the solid mineral particles when the composition is handled. This stringy state makes manual application impossible and may compromise the durability of the coating in the sense that the cohesion of the coating may be disturbed due to insufficient compaction or placement of the coating.
- One method for reducing the stringiness of coatings with clear synthetic binders consists in reducing the elastomer content in the composition of the binder. However, this method leads to a resistance to permanent deformation which is strongly impacted. The coatings resulting from this method are then no longer suitable for use over a wide traffic and temperature window.
- Patent application EP1481023 describes a clear binder composition which comprises from 0.05 to 3% by weight of an amide-type additive which makes it possible to reduce the handling temperature of the clear coating.

- the binder content advantageously varies from 50 to 75% by weight of binder, relative to the total weight of the emulsion, more advantageously from 55 to 70% by weight, even more advantageously from 60 to 65% by weight .
- the total residual anhydrous binder content of the cold poured bituminous material is typically 5.5 to 9 pph (part percent by weight), preferably 6 to 8 pph, based on the weight of the solid particles.
- a binder composition according to the invention (Example 1) comprises the following constituents:
- Example 1 is prepared according to the following process:
- the melt index is measured according to the method described in standard ISO1 133-1 (201 1).
- the copolymers are evaluated at a temperature of 190° C. and under a load of 2.16 kg.
- This test method allows the determination of the consistency of bitumens, bituminous binders and hydrocarbon binders.
- the penetration of a reference needle into a conditioned test sample is measured.
- the operating conditions which apply to penetrabilities up to approximately 330 x 0.1 mm must be: temperature of 25°C, applied load of 100 g and duration of application of the load of 5 seconds.
- This test method allows the determination of the softening point of bitumens, bituminous binders and bituminous binders, in the temperature range of 28°C to 150°C.
- Two horizontal discs of bitumen, cast in shouldered brass rings, are to be heated in a liquid bath with a controlled rate of temperature rise, while each supports a steel ball.
- the noted softening point must correspond to the average of the temperatures at which the two discs soften sufficiently to allow each ball, wrapped in bituminous binder, to descend a height of (25.0 ⁇ 0.4) mm.
- This test method allows the determination of the dynamic viscosity of different modified and non-modified bituminous binders and bituminous binders by means of a viscometer with rotating spindle (coaxial viscometer).
- the torque applied to a rotating spindle (eg a cylinder) in a particular container, which contains the sample to be measured, accounts for the relative resistance of the spindle to rotation and provides a measure of the dynamic viscosity of the sample.
- the tests are carried out from 100 to 180°C by applying, for each test temperature, a similar shear rate between the different samples.
- This test method is used to determine the existence of an elastic response of bitumens, bituminous binders and bituminous binders under creep-recovery in shear at two stress levels, at a specified temperature.
- the existence of this elastic response is determined by measuring the recovery percentage and the irreversible compliance of the binder. Irreversible creep compliance has been shown to be an indicator of the resistance of binders to permanent deformation under repeated stresses.
- the test must be carried out at 50°C, 60°C, 70°C or 80°C as appropriate. Other test temperatures may be used for comparison.
- the sample preparation and apparatus are in accordance with EN 14770, with a geometry of parallel plates of 25 mm and an air gap adjustment of 1 mm. The sample is subjected to constant stress for 1 second, followed by recovery for 9 seconds. Ten creep-recovery cycles are performed at a creep stress of 0.100 kPa, followed by another 10 cycles at a creep stress of 3.200 kPa
- a hot mix is first prepared using the binder composition.
- the mixture below is made at a temperature of 150°C from a total mass of asphalt of 500 g:
- the mix is then placed in an oven at 120° C. for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature of the mix is checked so that the mixture is indeed at 120° C., then the mix is handled using a spatula. The operator visualizes whether filaments are observed during handling of the asphalt. If only one filament is observed, the binder is rated as filamentary in appearance. 2. Examples
- the EBA1 and EMA3 copolymers are useful copolymers of ethylene and alkyl acrylate in the context of the present invention.
- EBA2 and EMA4 copolymers are copolymers of ethylene and alkyl acrylate presented for comparison.
- binder compositions were fabricated and characterized in order to demonstrate the importance of the melting temperature of the copolymer on the performance of the binder compositions on the criterion of resistance to permanent deformation (Table 2).
- the INV1 binder composition is a composition according to the invention: the copolymer used is an EBA copolymer having an MFI of 175 g/10min and a melting temperature of 102°C.
- the COMP1 binder composition is not a composition according to the invention: the melting point of the EBA is 75°C, therefore less than 85°C.
- EBAI presents a significantly higher melting temperature than TEBA2. This is explained by the nature of the processes for preparing these copolymers.
- EBA 1 is prepared using a tubular copolymerization process, thus generating high heterogeneity and therefore a high melting temperature
- TEBA2 is prepared using an autoclave copolymerization process, generating a homogeneous copolymer with a low melting temperature.
- the characterization results of the INV1 and COMF1 binder compositions show that the heterogeneity of the copolymer is essential in order to obtain a high ball-ring temperature value and a good resistance to permanent deformation at 60°C as indicated by the high value of recovery of the composition INV1 and the low irreversible compliance of the composition INV1. 2.2. Demonstration of the importance of the melt index of the copolymer
- binder compositions were manufactured and characterized in order to demonstrate the importance of the melt index of the copolymer on the reduction in the dynamic viscosity of the composition and therefore on its ability to be applied at lower temperature without influencing the workability of the product at application (Table 3).
- the INV2 binder composition is a composition according to the invention: the copolymer used is an EMA copolymer having an MFI of 7 g/10min and a melting point of 97°C.
- the binder composition COMP2 is not a composition according to the invention: the melt index of the EMA is 2 g/10min, therefore less than 2.5 g/m 2 .
- TEMA3 exhibits a higher melt index than TEMA4.
- the characterization results of the compositions INV2 and COMP2 show that a high melt index is essential to obtain a lower dynamic viscosity value. Indeed, at 100° C., the binder composition INV2 exhibits a dynamic viscosity lowered by 1000 mPa.s compared with the binder composition COMP2.
- the results of the INV3 and INV1 binder compositions demonstrate that at the same consistency (values close to penetrability), the use of EBAI, which has a high fluidity index (175 g/10 min for EBA1 against 7 g/ 10min for EMA3) makes it possible to obtain a significantly lower dynamic viscosity at 100°C while maintaining equivalent irreversible compliance between the two binders.
