Blends of bitumen with polymers for built up roofing membranes
Bitumen, a mixture of four main components - aromatics, paraffins, asphaltenes and resins that remain after crude oil has been processed in distillation plants and catalytic crackers finds applications in road construction and as a waterproofing agent to more specialized purposes such as being used, when blended with a proportion of a polymer, in built up membranes for the roofing industry. In this paper we describe the previously unreported properties on a molecular level of three commercially-used blends of polymers with bitumen, following measurements made by fluorescence optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. It may be seen how the different blends function in a manner that makes them suitable for the production of built up roofing membranes.
