Abstract: An aqueous asphaltic emulsion wherein the asphaltic component is either a chemically-modified asphalt or an asphalt-elastomer blend, and the aqueous component contains water, a surfactant, and a high molecular weight, non-ionic, homopolymer of acrylamide. The emulsions find use as crack fillers for concrete or asphaltic roads and the like, or as coating compositions which can be sprayed on a building wall or the like as a waterproofing coating. The incorporation of the acrylamide ingredient into the composition ensures rapid and complete curing of other types of emulsions, and the emulsions possess physical properties and low-temperature flex properties which closely approximate those of the original asphaltic component.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous emulsion joint and crack filler capable of passing the ASTM Specification 1190 for joint and crack fillers. The emulsion solids are the reaction product of asphalt, an extender oil, a mixture of elastomers, an acrylamide and a vinyl monomer. The preferred elastomer mixture includes a liquid rubber and at least one block copolymer of styrene and a conjugated diene, such as triblock and diblock copolymers of styrene and butadiene. The preferred emulsion medium is water containing a surfactant and an acrylamide polymer. The emulsion is poured at ambient temperature into a joint or crack, and cures rapidly to ensure minimal traffic interruption.
