Synergistic solvent solution of xylene and stoddard solvent for chemically modified asphalt

摘要

Homogeneous, substantially single phase, stable solutions of the reaction product of asphalt, a vinyl aromatic monomer, and a rubbery polymer are provided. These solutions may be sprayed onto metal surfaces to provide corrosion resistant coatings thereon and also coatings which have a sound dampening quality. The solvent employed to form the solution is a mixture of xylene and Stoddard solvent or a mixture of xylene, Stoddard solvent and heptane or hexane, or a mixture of heptane and hexane.
