US Patent:

6569351, May 27, 2003
Filed:

Mar 14, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/525150
Inventors:

Gaylon L. Baumgardner - Jackson MS
Martin R. Burrow - Brandon MS
John Dumas - Ridgeland MS
Andrew Menapace - Florence MS
James Smith - Clinton MS
Assignee:

Ergon, Inc. - Jackson MS
International Classification:

C09K 300
US Classification:

25218217, 25218213, 524 59, 524 70, 524 68, 516 33, 516 37
Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a an accelerator-gel additive used to deliver an accelerator such as sulfur, into a system for the production of polymer modified asphalt, vulcanized rubber or similar system. Unlike conventional methods of delivering accelerator into the system, the accelerator-gel additive suspends the accelerator in a gel system thereby preventing the sedimentation of the accelerator during processing. As a result, the polymer and asphalt are processed at lower temperature reducing the production of toxic and flammable gases such as hydrogen sulfide.

60310294, Feb 29, 2000
Filed:

Mar 31, 1997
Appl. No.:

8/829163
Inventors:

Gaylon L. Baumgardner - Jackson MS
Martin R. Burrow - Brandon MS
Assignee:

Ergon, Incorporated - Jackson MS
International Classification:

C08K 304
US Classification:

524 68
Abstract:

Systems and methods for combining a mineral acid and a polymer additive in an asphalt composition are described. Methods of preparing a polymer modified asphalt include providing a source of a neat asphalt; heating the neat asphalt; providing a source of a polymer; adding the polymer to the neat asphalt to form a blend; providing a source of a dilution asphalt; and adding the blend to the dilution asphalt to form a diluted product. The systems and methods provide advantages in that the addition of the mineral acid widens the temperature range in which satisfactory performance from a given polymer asphalt composition can be achieved or, as a corollary, reduces the amount of polymer additive that would otherwise be needed to achieve satisfactory performance within a given temperature range.
