  • Publication number: 20180312437
    Abstract: A polyurethane is obtained by continuously reacting a polyurethane prepolymer in an asphalt or asphalt mixture material system under high temperature. The prepolymer is prepared by: adding a polymerization inhibitor, catalyst and isocyanate component in a reaction container, adding a polyol to the reactor while stirring at room temperature under nitrogen, increasing the temperature to 50-80° C., and maintaining the temperature to react for 0.5-6 hours. A polyurethane modified asphalt, a mixture material containing the polyurethane and a polyurethane modified asphalt pavement structure can be prepared. The synthesis condition of the polyurethane is mild, and a secondary reaction with the air and an active hydrogen component in the asphalt can occur during maintenance and formation to further increase the strength of a mixture material. The standard Marshall stability at 60° C. meets the petroleum asphalt requirement, such that a service life of the asphalt pavement can be increased.
