METAL AMINE COMPLEXES FOR IMPROVING THE BOND STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT

摘要

Metal amine complexes are formed from amines adhering to the general formulas 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.
