Abstract
This study explores the possibility of modifying the rheological properties of chlorinated asphalt by introducing pyrolyzed polystyrene. Pyrolyzed polystyrene was introduced into the asphalt mixture, resulting in three distinct samples, each containing varying proportions of pyrolyzed polystyrene blended with chlorinated asphalt. Subsequent laboratory tests, conducted included evaluations of ductility, penetration, and softening point. The results indicated significant changes in asphalt properties due to the introduction of pyrolyzed polystyrene. Additionally, the chlorination process also was affected on the thermal properties of the original asphalt.
This study has obtained asphaltic samples with rheological properties suitable for various asphalt application, including paving, platinating and mastic accordance to the standard specifications.
