Modified Binder Use to Increase
It is likely that modified binders represent as much as 15% of the total annual tonnage of asphalt binder used in the United States; this percentage is
expected to increase in the coming decade

Types of Asphalt Modifiers
![Page 6: Benefits of Modified Asphalts John Duval, P.E. Oregon Asphalt Conference March 8, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c985503460f94953dcb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Extenders
• Sulfur• Lignin
Extenders are typically cheaper than asphalt and replace asphalt binder
Sulfur Extended Asphalt?
![Page 7: Benefits of Modified Asphalts John Duval, P.E. Oregon Asphalt Conference March 8, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c985503460f94953dcb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Fibers
• Natural– Rock Wool– Cellulose
• Man-Made– Polypropylene– Polyester– Fiberglass Fibers can be used to increase
asphalt stiffness, but are primarily used to control
“drain-down” in open-graded mixtures

Others
• Oxidants / Antioxidants
• Hydrocarbons– Asphalt Blending (from
different Crude Oils)– Lake Asphalt– Recycling/Rejuvenating Oils
• Antistrip Agents– Lime– Liquid (Amines)
![Page 12: Benefits of Modified Asphalts John Duval, P.E. Oregon Asphalt Conference March 8, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c985503460f94953dcb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Polyphoshoric Acid (PPA)
• PPA is a liquid mineral polymer
• PPA be used alone or in conjunction with polymers
• PPA can improve high temperature stiffness
• PPA modification does not oxidize the asphalt binder
• Care should be taken to avoid neutralization of amine-based liquid antistrip chemicals IS-220

PG PLUS Specifications
![Page 19: Benefits of Modified Asphalts John Duval, P.E. Oregon Asphalt Conference March 8, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c985503460f94953dcb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Many Highway Agencies have developed PG PLUS specifications
The intent is to ensure that the preferred modifier is used
Agency Perspective
![Page 20: Benefits of Modified Asphalts John Duval, P.E. Oregon Asphalt Conference March 8, 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649c985503460f94953dcb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Industry Perspective
Encourage Agencies to use performance specifications
This allows suppliers to innovate and compete in the marketplace
to earn a profit

Mississippi DOT
“PG 76-22 or PG82-22 and shall be made by adding a polymer modifier to a PG 67-22 or lower grade asphalt. Polymer shall
be SBS, SBR, or equal approved by Engineer.”Mississippi DOT Std Spec Section 702.02
“We make the suppliers start with the PG 67-22, then modify that to get the PG 76-22.”
Jimmy Brumfield, Mississippi DOT
Polymer adds between $3 to $5 per ton of mix, which increases the cost of mix to about $38 to $42 per ton.

Quantifying the Effects of PMA for Reducing Pavement Distress
This study (published in Feb 2005) uses national field data to determine enhanced service life of pavements containing polymer modified binders versus conventional binders. The data is from a variety of climates and traffic volumes within North America.

Study Objectives
• Quantify the effect of using PMA as compared to conventional-unmodified HMA mixtures in terms of:– Increasing pavement life– Reducing occurrence of distresses
• Identify conditions that maximize effect of PMA to increase HMA pavement & overlay life.

Mechanistic-Empirical Analysis
• Use M-E distress prediction models from new 200x Pavement Design Guide for:– Fatigue Cracking– Rutting
• Damage indices computed using factorial cell specific calibration
• Compare damage indices to actual distress measurements for both PMA and unmodified sections

Quantifying the Benefit
Pavement Type Initial Cost Change# NPV Savings
1) Unmodified 669K - 1,005K -(resurface yr.10 and 28, structural overlay yr.18 and 34)
2) Modified Wearing 682K + 2.0% 941K 6.5%(structural overlay yr.18 and 34)
3) Modified Wearing & Base 709K + 6.0% 849K 15.5%(Perpetual Pavement: resurface yr. 18 and 34)
Cost to use PMA equates to approx. 1% of initial cost per inch modified

Summary/Recommendations
• Modifiers can improve high and low temperature properties of asphalt binders
• We are still waiting for a PG PLUS test that is “blind” to the modifier
• AI ER 215 provides a sound method to measure the benefit of modified asphalts in order to make decisions based on lowest lifecycle cost.

Summary/Recommendations
• ODOT should study the cost and benefit of modified asphalt mixes in Oregon– Laboratory assessment of rut
susceptibility using Asphalt Pavement Analyzer
– Field studies of full-scale modified asphalt sections subjected to actual traffic
