| description | Bitumen from the catalytic cracking of petroleum is widely used in the construction industry as a binder for mineral aggregates paving asphalt cement (PAC). However, this material has serious limitations for use at different temperatures. Modifications with polymers have been widely studied to improve the properties of this material and increase its useful life. As a result of the increased environmental risk, the volume of solid waste (MSW) can be used as an alternative to the best use of this material. One of these is the formulation of synthetic bitumen (binders) from mixtures of lubricant oil/polymer that can show better when compared to traditional and modified bitumen. In this work, a mixture of lubricating oil and recycled polypropylene (PP) was made for the formulation of synthetic bitumens. The rheological analyses carried out on the material indicate that at low temperatures the formulated material shows high loading modulus values, indicating high mechanical strength, and the material also presented high resistance to permanent deformation; the viscosity profile indicates that the material is highly pseudoplastic presenting high viscosity at zero shear rate and low visibility at high shear rates, highlighting the samples containing 10 and 20% of polymer material in the formation as the best for use as one of the components of the pavement cement. |
