Abstract: A bituminous mastic includes:—from 0.5% to 25% by mass of at least one hydrocarbon oil, the total content of paraffinic compounds of which, measured according to the ASTM d2140 method, is greater than or equal to 50% by mass, and preferably greater than or equal to 60% by mass, relative to the total mass of the oil,—from 15% to 60% by mass of bitumen,—from 20% to 60% by mass of fillers, and—at most 14%, by mass of at least one polymer, preferably chosen from elastomers, relative to the total mass of bituminous mastic. A method for preparing such a bituminous mastic and to the uses thereof, in particular in certain road and/or industrial applications.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing granules of material usable as a road binder or as a sealing binder, including a core and a coating layer in a fluidized air bed facility, the core consisting of a first composition including at least one material selected from: a bitumen base, a pitch, a clear binder, and the coating layer consisting of a second composition including at least one viscosifying compound and at least one anticaking agent.

Abstract: A method for preparing a solid bitumen material at ambient temperature, said method comprising at least the steps of: a) preparing an emulsion of bitumen drops in a water phase; b) preparing a silica sol or silica gel from a silicon oxide precursor that has a pH of 4 to 8; c) bringing the emulsion of bitumen drops from step a) into contact with the silica sol or silica gel from step b); d) subjecting the bitumen suspension from step c) to an atomization treatment.

Abstract: A method for preparing a solid bitumen material at ambient temperature, the method comprising at least the steps of: a) preparing a stabilized emulsion of bitumen drops in a water phase that has a pH of 2 to 4; b) preparing a silica sol or silica gel from a first silicon oxide precursor that has a pH of 2 to 4; c) mineralizing the emulsion of bitumen drops from step a) with the silica sol or gel from step b); d) mineralizing the emulsion of bitumen drops from step c) having a maximum pH of 1 with a second silicon oxide precursor; e) separating the material from the water phase.
