Asphalt and rubber comprising composition

摘要

A pipe coating composition is provided having good crack resistance properties that consists essentially of about 50 to 70 wt. % mineral aggregate, about 15 to 35 wt. % finely divided mineral filler, about 5 to 20 wt. % asphalt, about 0.05 to 7 wt. % of a rubbery radial teleblock copolymer, about 0 to 7 wt. % of an oil, and about 0 to 0.5 wt. % of a fibrous material. Further more, the crack resistance of a pipe coating composition is dramatically improved by using an asphalt rubber composition in which the rubber is an epoxy-coupled radial teleblock copolymer as compared to a silicon tetrahalide-coupled radial teleblock copolymer of essentially the same structure.
