Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of fluxing agents for hydrocarbon binders, which can be used in particular in road applications. More specifically, the invention relates to the use, as fluxing agent for a hydrocarbon binder, of a compound of formula (I) as defined below, and its use in a process for the preparation of a product. bituminous.
  • bituminous products mineral particles are bound by a hydrocarbon binder, in particular a bitumen.
  • the hydrocarbon binders used in bituminous products are very viscous products, typically viscoelastic, which, in order to be handled, need to be heated, emulsified and / or additives by so-called “fluxing" compounds.
  • the fluxes make it possible, among other things, to reduce their viscosity.
  • These fluxes can be of petroleum, carbochemical or even vegetable origin. Usual fluxes are fluxes of petroleum origin which include:
  • petroleum fluxes which are products from the distillation of crude oil (light fraction (s)), which may have undergone a hydrotreatment operation. Mention may be made, for example, of the fluxing agents marketed by Total (Greenflux® 2000, Greenflux® SD in particular).
  • the fluxes of petroleum origin are very satisfactory in terms of results. Indeed, when they are added to a hydrocarbon binder, they make it possible to occasionally lower its viscosity while generally ensuring that the mechanical performance of the bituminous product based on this fluxed hydrocarbon binder is not appreciably deteriorated and thus makes them clean. for their road use, in particular with a sufficient increase in cohesion.
  • Patent application FR 3068702 discloses the use of monoesters said short chain saturated, that is to say typically less than Ci 6, for example C12 or C13, such as volatile fluxing agents making it possible, once incorporated into a binder hydrocarbon-based and before their evaporation, to reduce the viscosity of the hydrocarbon-based binder, and to limit the drawbacks of the usual volatile fluxes in terms of repercussions on the environment and of toxicity for their manipulator.
  • a naturally occurring non-fossil flux is a naturally occurring non-fossil oil, one of its derivatives such as fatty acid esters, or a mixture of two or more of these oils and / or oil derivatives. Mention may in particular be made of vegetable oils such as sunflower, rapeseed, peanut, copra, linseed, palm, soybean, olive, castor, corn, squash and seed oils. grape, jojoba, sesame, walnut, hazelnut, Chinese wood, tall oil (tall oil), their derivatives, as well as their mixtures. These oils include unsaturated fatty acids at least C16 unsaturated.
  • Such fluxes are for example described in applications FR 2 910 477, EP 0 900 822, FR 2 721 043 or FR 2 891 838.
  • the flux is selected from the iodine number which characterizes the level of unsaturations of a compound and therefore its ability to react by sicactivtion. If they present less risk for the environment or the well-being and health of the operators, the fluxes of natural non-fossil long-chain origin, that is to say at least in Ci 6 , are however less satisfactory than the fluxes of petroleum origin in terms of results. Indeed, the results of increase in cohesion are less good. They most often lead to disorders in the event of showers, heat or too dense traffic, problems of bleeding, linked in particular to poor adhesion of the fluxed hydrocarbon binder to the solid mineral particles.
  • bituminous products prepared using existing non-fossil naturally occurring fluxes are currently considered unsuitable for moderate to heavy traffic and climatic variations.

  • R 2 is a linear or branched hydrocarbon chain comprising from 2 to 13 carbon atoms and one or more unsaturations, the said unsaturations being one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, as fluxing agent for a hydrocarbon binder.

  • bitumen droplets For a cold cast bituminous material, the initially separated bitumen droplets give the system a fluid character and easy placement using specific machines for cold cast bituminous materials. The system is then viscous. The characteristic time during which this state persists is called handling time. Secondly, the bitumen droplets gradually coalesce. When all of the bitumen droplets are combined, the emulsion is considered to have broken (break-through time). The system is then viscoelastic. The system subsequently tends to contract so as to reduce the contact surface between the water and the bitumen (cohesion time). This process follows a kinetics which will depend on the electrostatic repulsions between droplets and therefore on the nature of the bitumen and of the emulsifier. The kinetics of the coalescence reaction between the bitumen droplets will determine the speed of the rise in cohesion of the cold-cast bituminous material which may result in whether the material is sensitive or not to the conditions of ripening at a young age.
