. Understanding the types, benefits, and market dynamics of asphalt additives provides valuable insights for stakeholders across the construction and infrastructure sectors. Understanding the Role and Types of Asphalt Additives in Pavement Engineering Asphalt Additives refer to chemical or natural substances incorporated during asphalt mixing to augment the binder’s performance or improve the aggregate’s interaction with the binder. The primary objective behind using these additives is to increase the road’s resilience to temperature fluctuations, moisture damage, and mechanical stresses inflicted by heavy vehicle loads. There are several categories of asphalt additives, including polymer modifiers, anti-stripping agents, antioxidants, adhesion promoters, and warm mix additives. Polymer modifiers, such as styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), enhance the elasticity and tensile strength of asphalt, preventing rutting and cracking. Anti-stripping agents reduce moisture-induced damage by improving the bond between the asphalt binder and aggregates. Warm mix additives allow asphalt to be mixed and applied at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption and emissions during construction. ‣ Get more insights on: Asphalt Additives
