Abstract: Bituminous emulsion viscosifiers are disclosed to be prepared by condensation of the residue obtained from the distillation of crude tall oil or tall oil derived fatty acids and resin acids (rosin) with various amines, which when added to the asphalt before emulsification produce emulsions of a higher viscosity than the emulsion prepared with the asphalt without the additive, at the same or reduced bitumen content.

The modified polyamines are obtained by reacting suitable polyalkylene amines with a sugar-containing syrup, preferably molasses.

Abstract: An asphalt composition is disclosed having improved adhesion to aggregate comprising asphalt and an adhesion improving amount of an anti-stripping agent comprising the aminoester reaction product of at least one tall oil fatty acid and triethanolamine.

Abstract: Alkaline solutions of combinations of tall oil fatty acids or tallow fatty acids and their reaction products with acrylic acid, fumaric acid and maleic anhydride with and without catalytical amounts of iodine at a dosage of 0.4-0.6% based on the weight of asphalt emulsions are disclosed to be efficient emulsifiers for rapid set high float emulsions. Blends of fatty acids with fumarized or maleinized rosin are also excellent emulsifiers. If dosage levels of above 0.6 to 3.0% are used, medium set high float emulsions are obtained. Combinations of tall oil fatty acid and sulfonated tall oil fatty acid also give medium set high float emulsions.

Abstract: Cationic oil in water type bituminous-aggregate slurries capable of being worked are disclosed. The slurries contain a densely graded aggregate, from about 8% to about 20% of an aqueous emulsion based on the weight of the aggregate, wherein the emulsion is comprised of from about 55% to about 65% of bitumen based on the weight of the emulsion, from about 0.5% to about 2%, based on the weight of the emulsion, of the reaction products of one or more polyamines and a polycarboxylic acid of the general formula ##STR1## wherein x and y are integers from 3 to 9, x and y together equal 12, at least one Z is a carboxylic acid group and any remaining Z is hydrogen, as emulsifier, and water to make up 100% by weight. Additionally, from about 4% to about 16% water, based on the weight of the aggregate, is added to form a slurry of the aggregate and the emulsion; and up to 3% of an additive selected from the group consisting of lime and cement is employed to reduce the setting time of the mixture.
