  • the eventual penetration of environmental water can reach the interface between the coating and the substrate surface, interfering with the bond between the coating and the substrate surface.
  • This can result in flaking of the coating, exposing the substrate surface to weathering and/or solvent attack.
  • weathering and/or solvent attack under load, can lead to substrate/pavement failures including flaked pavement, "raveling", cracking, and potholes.

  • Examples 1 through 5 were all produced from Southern Yellow Pine chips (a lignocellulosic feedstock). The chips were dried to a nominal 5 weight percent moisture content and sized using a commercial hammer mill to less than 5mm.
  • Example 1 is a light distillation residue from renewable T-C oil.
  • the lignocellulosic feedstock was converted in a biomass catalytic conversion process in a 10 bbl/day continuous fluidized catalytic cracker using an aluminosilicate catalyst.
  • a riser reactor was used in the conversion process with the riser outlet being at 1000 °F.
  • the free water byproduct was separated from the oil.
  • the T-C oil was then charged to a wiped film evaporator (less than 3 theoretical plates) and the high molecular weight residue was separated from the distillate at a pressure of 10 torr.
  • This material (Example 1) had a nominal initial boiling point IBP of 450°F by Gel Permeation Chromatography using polystyrene molecular weight standards.
  • Example 2 is a heavy residue from renewable T-C oil.
  • Example 2 was prepared in the same way as Example 1 except a batch vacuum distillation unit was used (vs. a wiped film evaporator) to isolate the high molecular weight residue.
  • This residue (Example 2) had a nominal IBP of 650° F (343° C) by distillation conditions (boiling point was determined under a vacuum and then the nominal IBP at atmospheric pressure was calculated to be 650° F (343° C)).
  • Example 3 is a heavy residue from pyrolysis oil.
  • the lignocellulose feedstock was converted in a fast pyrolysis using fluidized sand (no catalyst) as the heat transfer media in a unit designed to give equivalent performance to a thermo- catalytic conversion unit.
  • a batch vacuum distillation unit was used to isolate the high molecular weight residue.
  • Example 4 is a heavy residue from a hydrotreated renewable T-C oil. Like Examples 1 and 2, the lignocellulosic feedstock was converted in a biomass catalytic conversion process using the same catalyst. After removing the free water byproduct by decanting, the T-C oil was fed to a fixed bed high-pressure hydrotreater (HDT) where the oxygen level was reduced to less than 1 weight percent. The HDT liquid product was isolated from the gases and then fractionated in a batch vacuum distillation unit to produce a 650° F+ (343° C+) residue (Example 4).
  • HDT high-pressure hydrotreater
  • Example 5 represents a partially hydrotreated sample and was derived by mixing a sample of Example 2 with a sample of Example 4 to produce a 50/50 weight percent blend.
  • the following testing was performed primarily to evaluate the efficacy of using the high molecular weight fraction of the biomass T-C oil as a modifying component of an asphalt material also containing asphalt and aggregate.
  • the results show superior adhesion of the asphalt material containing asphalt and the inventive high molecular weight fraction to the aggregate, as compared to the use of asphalt materials not containing the inventive high molecular weight fraction.
  • This enhanced adhesion is also demonstrative that the inventive high molecular weight fraction will similarly have a superior bonding strength to the surface of a predominantly flat surface when used as at least a portion of a coating composition.
  • the neat binder used in the evaluation was PG 64-22 obtained from the Paulsboro, N.J. refinery of NuStar Asphalt, LLC. Table 2 summarizes the performance grading properties of this binder.
  • the neat binder has a continuous performance grade of PG 67.2 (20.8) -26.4.
  • a coarse, dense-graded 9.5 mm mixture composed of diabase coarse and natural sand fine aggregate was used in the examples below. This mixture was selected because the diabase aggregate is moisture sensitive resulting in typical tensile strength ratios of approximately 70 percent when tested in accordance with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials AASHTO T283 without anti-strip agents. Table 3 summarizes pertinent volumetric properties of the mixture.
  • Example 1 Each of the five examples were blended at 5 weight percent concentration with neat NuStar PG 64-22 binder and graded in accordance with AASHTO R29.
  • a 20 weight percent concentrate was prepared by heating both the cellulosic pyrolysis binder and the neat binder to 175 °C and mixing for 30 minutes with a mechanical stirrer. After the concentrate cooled, it was reheated to 160 °C and additional neat binder also heated to 160 °C was added to reach the target concentration of 5 weight percent.
  • Example 1 the same process was used; however, lower temperatures were used because Example 1 fumed at temperatures higher than 120 °C. Accordingly, a temperature of 115 °C was used for the initial mixing of 20 weight percent concentrate and a temperature of 120 °C was used for the subsequent addition of neat binder.
  • FIG. 3 shows the effect on dry tensile strength ("dry strength") and conditioned tensile strength ("conditioned strength”) of the addition of each asphalt binder modifier.
  • Dry strength reflects the initial properties of the compacted asphalt concrete according to the AASHTO T283 test procedure, before the impact of weathering.
  • Condition strength reflects the impact of weathering on the compacted asphalt concrete and is achieved by submersion in warm water followed by specimen freezing usfng the prescribed AASHTO T283 test protocol.
  • Examples 2, 3 and 5 all showed improvement of the conditioned strength as compared to the control and, thus, represent good additives to resist deteriorative effects of weathering.
  • Example 4 the hydrotreated biomass T-C oil asphalt binder modifier, did not show improvement in conditioned strength.
  • Example 5 the blend of Example 2 and 4, exhibited a conditioned strength between that of Example 2 and Example 4 but superior to the conditioned strength of the Control.
  • Example 2 the superior performance of Example 2 is surprising when the compositions of the Examples are compared (see Table 1).
  • Example 2 performed better than both Examples 3 and 4.
  • Examples 2 and 4 have lower oxygen content and lower content of anhydro sugars than Example 3.
  • Examples 2 and 4 are not water- soluble where-as Example 3 is water-soluble.
  • the oxygen content for Example 2 (12.0 wt%) is intermediate to the oxygen contents for Example 3 (28.6 wt%) and for Example 4 (0.4 wt%).
  • the fact that the tensile strength performance for Example 2 exceeds that for Examples 3 and 4 is unexpected.
  • compositional differences between Examples 2 and 3 when viewed in light of the performance differences between Examples 2 and 4, further evidences that the performance of non-catalytic pyrolysis oils are not indicative, or predictive, of the performance of a biomass T-C oil as an asphalt binder modifier.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the effect of the addition of the asphalt binder modifiers on tensile strength ratio (conditioned strength divided by dry strength).
  • Tensile strength ratio reflects the anti-stripping performance of the asphalt binder modifier.
  • blends using Examples 1-5 all showed improved resistance to moisture damage, as illustrated by the improved tensile ratio, when compared to the neat binder; however, the blend using Example 5 unexpectedly showed clearly superior results for the tensile strength ratio; better than either of its components (Example 2 and Example 4). This, combined with improved conditioned strength of Example 5 over the Control, indicate that Example 5 is a surprisingly superior anti-stripping agent.
