Patent number: 4775419Abstract: Metal amine complexes are formed from amines adhering to the general formulas ##STR1## by reaction with various metal salts. Prior to reaction with various metal salts, the above amines may first be reacted with a formaldehyde source or with a formaldehyde source followed by an epoxide or with an epoxide or with an epoxide followed by a formaldehyde source. The resultant metal amine complexes are then employed in asphalt compositions in order to increase the overall strength of such compositions.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1983Date of Patent: October 4, 1988Assignee: Morton Thiokol, Inc.Inventors: Dennis W. Gilmore, Larry M. Girdler, Thomas G. Kugele
