Plasticizers for Adhesive, Coating and Sealant Compositions Applied to Asphalt

摘要

An asphalt-containing substrate having an adhesive, coating or sealant composition applied to the substrate surface and adhesive, coating or sealant compositions are described herein. The composition resists softening of the asphalt compound in the asphalt-containing substrate at elevated temperatures and includes at least one base material and at least one plasticizer. The plasticizer has is a low molecular weight compound and preferably includes an ester-containing reaction product of at least one glycerol and at least one carboxylic acid or a glycol and an aryl carboxylic acid. The composition base material is preferably a polymer or copolymer that includes polyurethanes, silylated polyurethanes, silylated polyethers, copolymers thereof, and blends thereof. Products containing the composition and a method of applying the composition to a substrate are also disclosed herein.
