  • Patent number: 10377900
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bitumen/polymer composition and to its process of manufacture. The bitumen/polymer composition includes first bitumen base having an intrinsic stability S of greater than 2.5 and/or a degree of peptization Sa of greater than 0.60, and a second bitumen base having an intrinsic stability S of less than or equal to 2.50 and/or a degree of peptization Sa of less than or equal to 0.60, an elastomer and an olefinic polymer adjuvant functionalized by at least glycidyl functional groups. The values of intrinsic stability S and of the degree of peptization Sa are measured according to the standard ASTM D 7157-12. The bitumen/polymer composition exhibits improved low-temperature mechanical properties.

  • Publication number: 20180163050
    Abstract: The invention relates to a package of performance additives for bitumen or bituminous compositions including an acidic adjuvant and a H2S scavenger chosen from organic or inorganic copper salts. The invention also relates to the use of said H2S scavenger in order to reduce the H2S emissions of bitumen or of a bituminous composition treated with the acidic adjuvant. The invention additionally relates to a process for the preparation of a bituminous composition. The preparation process according to the invention makes it possible to obtain bitumen/crosslinked polymer compositions having better mechanical and dynamic properties in comparison with the bitumen/crosslinked polymer compositions of the prior art, while substantially reducing the releases of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

  • Publication number: 20150094405
    Abstract: A process for preparing graft polymers from a polymer is based on conjugated diene units and a graft which is a thiol derivative. The process has an absence of solvent and any radical initiator. The graft polymer can be advantageously be used as additive for a bitumen/polymer composition and in particular permits thermoreversible cross-linking.
