DESCRIPTION:
RoadChem™ 106® is an ethylene vinyl acetate polymer designed to improve the rheological properties of asphalt. It has a wide range of compatibility with different asphalts made from different crudes and using different processing methods.

BENEFITS:

• Increases softening point 10-20C
• Gives good low temperature properties
• Easy to handle and transport
• Stable ( >30 days) asphalt blends.
• Easy to compact hot mixes made with asphalt /106 blends.
• Easy to emulsify asphalt 106 blends

TYPICAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:
Form: Free flowing beads.
Flow rate (dg/min) 20 (ASTM D-1238)
Density: 0.941 (ASTM D-792)
Softening Point: 260F (ASTM E-28)
Hardness Shore A: 85 ( ASTM D-2240) 1% Secant Modulus)psi 8100( ASTM D-638) Elongation at Break % 725 ( ASTM D-638)
Storage Life: Indefinite in sealed 50 lb bags.

APPLICATION:
Blending:
RoadChem™ 106® may be blended easily using conventional equipment.

This includes:
Tank mixers
High shear colloid mills
Tank Circulation systems

TYPICAL FORMULATION:
All formulations should be tested in the laboratory before use.

Asphalt should be checked for compatibility by making mixtures in the laboratory. VSS can assist with this process.

A typical formulation for a binder for high deformation resistance will contain 5% by weight RoadChem™ 106® blended with 80/100 pen or other asphalt.( eg 30/40, 50/70, 180/220 or ANY other Grade)

The mix should be designed in accordance with good practice.

SAFETY:
RoadChem™ 106® is non hazardous. Refer to the MSDS for further information.
