Surfactant additives
Addition of a chemical surfactant additive (0.3-0.5 wt% in the binder) that
changes interfacial properties of the binder without changing asphalt binder
rheology
Improved coating at lower temperature thanks to surface tension reduction at the
binder/aggregate interface
Improved workability of the mix thanks the control the interface structure between
bitumen and aggregates, thus reducing the internal frictions that increase the
workability of an asphalt mixture.
Improved striping resistance of the mix thanks to surfactant action at binder/aggregate
interface
