Implementation of the polymer modified asphalt of Marzdaran Blvd using AkaBit EL64
Marzdaran Boulevard is located in the northwest of Tehran, in the 4th district of the 2nd district of Tehran Municipality and it is an east-west passage that connects Sheikh Fazlullah Nouri highway to Ashrafi Esfahani highway and Ayatollah Hakim highway to the north and Jalal al highway Ahmed are located in the south of it.
Due to the location of this boulevard, in order to increase the lifespan and resistance of the asphalt, the respected employer (Tehran Region 2 Municipality) in the project of the intersection of Marzdaran and Tembar Street, asked the contractor of the project (Shimi Al-Gazal Company, which is active in the field of colored asphalt) to use polymer. ) announced. This project was implemented in 2014 using colored asphalt containing AkaBit EL64 .
Polymers are one of the best additives to asphalt. In order to achieve better mechanical properties, more durability and improve the rheological properties of base bitumen, as well as to overcome failures and delay them, polymer modified asphalt is used.
Characteristics of polymer modified asphalt:
Excellent adhesion
Performance in both high and low temperature ranges
Increase in length and elasticity
Greater flexibility at low temperatures
Better resistance to movement and deformation at high temperature
Decreased temperature sensitivity
Improvement in tensile strength
Increase in hardness modulus at high temperatures
